Democrats Abroad Berlin worked hard this past year to mobilize Americans across the German capital to vote in the 2020 Global Presidential Primary as well as the U.S. General Election. We wanted a Democratic House, Senate, and Presidency – and we won all three!

Our goal was to reach the 22,000 U.S. citizens living in Berlin; we knew that every vote would be needed. It was only possible thanks to over 100 local volunteers. A huge shout-out to everyone who made it possible!
