Welcome to the Southern Lehigh Democratic Committee!
I’d like to personally welcome you to the Southern Lehigh Democratic Committee—there’s never been a more important time to get involved.
We organize year-round to inform voters, support our community, and win elections. The work we do here at the local level truly matters, and every voice makes a difference.
We meet monthly—usually the second Tuesday at 6:30 pm at the Coopersburg Community Center—to talk about the issues shaping our community and our country, and more importantly, what we can do about them.
Whether you have an hour or want to dive in, there’s a place for you here. You can write postcards, put up yard signs, knock doors, attend events, or lend your ideas—every action helps move our community forward.
Southern Lehigh is our home. Together, we can ensure it remains a welcoming place built on equality, justice, and opportunity for all.
On this website, you’ll find information on upcoming events, key issues, and resources to help you make a plan to vote.
Join us. Get involved. Be part of the change.
Please feel free to reach out with questions, ideas, or just to say hello—I’d love to hear from you.
Kathie Parsons, Board President

PA Dems: Voter Protection Team
Virtual Event - Join from anywhere. Must Register via Mobilize.
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Poll Observers are the eyes and ears on the ground at polling places across the state on election day. They assist voters and ensure that every eligible voter can cast a ballot. We will train, assign, and support you to make sure that you are as effective
For over a year, millions of us have come together to send an undeniable message: In America, we have no kings. Power does not belong to politicians, strongmen, or billionaires. It belongs to the people.
Now, we are taking the next step in our movement.
On October 17, we are launching No Kings: Vote Early, a nationwide day of nonpartisan voter participation.
This is not a protest or street march. This is about turning our collective people power into direct voter power right where we live.
The choices made by those in power directly affect our daily lives – and elections determine who has the power to make those choices.
That is why we are organizing hyper-local events in every corner of the country to ensure every neighbor, friend, and coworker has a plan to vote early and make their voice count on their own terms.
Whether your state offers in-person early voting, absentee ballots, or requires voting on Election Day, early preparation is key.
Join the No Kings: Vote Early Kickoff Call on Thursday, September 10, from 8 to 9 p.m. EDT to learn the vision, urgency, and strategy behind the campaign, and how you can host. Register at NoKings.org/kickoff
National action starts with local power. When we organize our blocks and show up together, we prove that the people – not unaccountable leaders – decide what comes next.
No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.
In solidarity,
The No Kings Coalition
PROTECT THE VOTE!
We need your help to fight back and protect the vote this November! The PA Dems are coordinating the largest Voter Protection program in the country to ensure every eligible PA voter can cast a vote and have it count. Please consider signing up to be an Election Day Poll Observer in the County where you are a registered voter. Training is required and you can sign up here: https://www.mobilize.us/pacoordinated2026/event/991304/
Ground Truth - A NEW Way to Canvass
Ground Truth: AI Meets Canvassing and Phonebanking
Ground Truth, a new nationwide canvassing and phonebanking program, led by Swing Left, is pairing old-school door-knocking and phone banking with new-school tech. Canvassers and callers still have real conversations with voters, then AI analyzes patterns across hundreds of those conversations to help campaigns understand what communities care about. The doors and phone calls still matter most, but the tools for learning from them keep getting smarter.
