What a difference a few weeks can make!
We have seen a surge of enthusiasm behind our Democratic nominee for President of the United States, Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz.
Kamela Harris' historic candidacy has inspired so many of us to act, donate, get involved, share memes, seek out information, and become part of a movement. We are thrilled to see so many new faces, ready to help get the job done for Democrats within the next 90 days.
We welcome your contributions to help win this sprint and defend democracy!

DA Postcards Ready to Mail!
For the past year, DA volunteers throughout Germany have been preparing postcards to send to members in key states and House districts. These cards remind and encourage voters to register and vote. Now we're almost ready to send them out.
Can you help?
These stunning, lively, patriotic, dazzling cards reflect the breadth and diversity of our Democratic community. Their colorful, eye-catching designs will be engagingly effective. In addition, the messages are direct and informative.
We have more than 1,500 postcards ready to send. A small team of members in the Frankfurt chapter will do the final work to prepare them for mailing in September.
If you're not in the Frankfurt area but you'd like to assist, we now need postage and you can help. You can make a donation here.
Thank you for your support!
Did you know that your monetary donations to Democrats Abroad Germany stay right here and are used exclusively to organize and get out the vote among Americans in Germany?

Update From One of our Dems Abroad Delegates From Germany, Quaide Williams
"What an honor it was to be elected delegate this year, and how exciting that this year of all years is so historic! I would’ve been happy to vote for such a wonderful president again, President Biden, but I am absolutely over the moon that I was able to cast my vote as delegate for our next president, our first female president, Kamala Harris. When our delegation returns to Germany from Chicago, we’ll have many more stories to tell and pictures to share."
Thanks to Quaide, along with Kenton Barnes, Malaika Kusumi, and Katie Solon, for representing us at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago from August 19-22, 2024.
Further information on the DA delegation can be found here.
