Westminster Democratic Town Committee

Westminster Democratic Town Committee We're part of the grassroots of MassDems and focused on building a local community of activists. Connect with us here and send us an email!

The Westminster Democratic Town Committee has been a way for the town’s registered Democrats to get involved in campaigns—and the civic process in general—for over 50 years. Our membership reflects the various types of Democrats in America—“blue-dog” social and economic moderates, staunch union-labor activists, same-sex marriage defenders, social-justice advocates (affordable housing, anti-poverty

, etc.), public education endorsers, healthcare reform advocates, feminists, renewable energy advocates, and more. We’re small-business owners, private-sector employees, public-sector workers, veterans, healthcare professionals, and retirees. We’re married, divorced, single with no kids, dating, working parents, single parents, grandparents…

Our members are involved in our community in other ways. We serve on many town committees, help run elections, and volunteer for local nonprofit organizations. The Westminster DTC—just like DTCs around the state—is the grassroots force of the state Democratic Party. We are organized and constituted under authority of and in accordance with the provisions of the General Laws of the Commonwealth. We can be a resource for any registered Democrats and Independents who are interested in helping out with the campaigns of Democratic candidates. And any registered Democrats living in Westminster and interested in grassroots activism in support of Democratic candidates for political office or progressive issues/policies are invited to join. We not only meet to discuss how to support the progressive ideas of the Massachusetts Democratic Party, the Democratic National Committee and Democrats in general, but also to have fun.

On Juneteenth, we remember that freedom isn’t given, it’s fought for. Today and everyday, we honor the legacy of those who came before us by continuing the work: for equality, for justice, for all.

I am honored to announce my endorsement by Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts! Women's reproductive freedom should never be determined by the government, nor should vital, life-saving services for marginalized communities. Healthcare decisions should be between patients and their healthcare professionals, period.

Iran has demanded a $300 billion reconstruction and investment fund as part of a draft peace agreement with the United States to end the ongoing conflict.

While Tehran views these funds as wartime reparations, Trump's negotiators have described the proposed package as "an international investment program."

Where are all you "ObAmA GaVe iRaN PaLlEtS Of cAsH" people at now?

Buying a tomato today will cost you 40 percent more than it did one year ago. There are many markers of the current unaffordability of American life, with gas prices—now ​​at more than $4.50 a gallon thanks to Trump’s pointless war on Iran—cited most frequently. We are nickel and dimed by ever-increasing “streamflation,” so-called “convenience fees” and “shrinkflation,” whereby companies deceptively shrink product sizes while charging the same—or even more.

Renting an apartment is 54 percent more expensive than it was in 2017, housing prices are up 60 percent since 2019, families will spend $120 more on electricity this year than they did in 2025, and credit card debt is up 63 percent since just 2021. But there’s something so startling and symbolic about a single red tomato costing 40 percent more than it did just 12 months ago. It’s as if even the simplest and most ordinary comforts of American life are quietly being put out of reach.
