read moreWhat is a DAROK chapter?
Chapters are administrative subdivisions of Democrats Abroad Republic of Korea (DAROK). Chapters have formal leadership structures and work to advance the mission of DAROK in their locality. We currently have active chapters in Busan-S. Gyeongsang and Incheon-Gyeonggi. We are looking to start chapters in the following localities: Seoul, Pyeongtaek, Daegu-N. Gyeongsang, Daejeon-Chungcheong, Gwangju-Jeolla, Gangwon, and Jeju.
Why form a DAROK chapter?
There are tens of thousands of Americans residing in South Korea. Is organizing here consequential? You bet!
- Republican Lauren Boebert won Colorado's 3rd Congressional District by 546 in 2022.
- Democrat Kris Mayes won the Arizona Attorney General race by 280 votes in 2022.
- Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks won Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District by 6 votes in 2020
And that's just South Korea! Democrats living abroad ARE increasingly the difference in elections back home - federal, state, and local. People vote when they feel it meaningful to do so. We need your help to create that meaning!
Okay, I'm sold. What do I do now?

ERA Call to Action - Cake time
The Equal Rights Amendment was first introduced
in Congress in 1923 - 100 years ago!
To commemorate that, Democrats Abroad is joining women across the U.S.
holding birthday parties in March – many on March 22
the date in 1972 that Congress submitted the ERA to the states for ratification.So have a little party with a birthday cake or cupcakes in recognition that we are still waiting for the Equal Rights Amendment to be added to the US Constitution. This can be a small gathering in you home, a large gathering, or simply part of an already planned meeting or event. Take lots of photos and post on social media with hashtag #ERA100.
Despite that we’ve met all the constitutional requirements, the ERA has not been published.
The goal is to raise awareness that the ERA is still not officially in the US Constitution.
Please share these flyers at the birthday party and with your family and friends:Equal Means Equal has created a "cookbook" of ideas and graphics for groups to leverage. Click here to access.
For more details on the ERA 100th birthday party, listen to Shari Temple’s appearance on the DA Blue Cafe podcast.
