Welcome to Democrats Abroad Sweden!

DA Sweden (DAS) is a proud member of Democrats Abroad, the official arm of the US Democratic Party for the estimated 9 million Americans living outside the United States. Its mission is to mobilize the overseas vote to elect Democratic candidates in all US elections. Democrats Abroad has 52 country committees throughout Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East and has active members in many other countries. It is the largest volunteer-driven organization of Americans living abroad.

Get involved with Democrats Abroad Sweden!

Democrats did spectacularly well in last autumn's elections, and Democrats Abroad played its part.  For this year's critical midterm elections, we are working hard to get out the vote from here in Sweden, which means increasing -- if possible -- voter participation over previous election cycles.

It's time to register (if necessary) and request your ballots now. Don't put it off, not just because primaries and possible special elections can sneak up on you, but also because you may (depending on state) be able to vote in local elections. You can find all the information you need here.

We need volunteers to help register voters and remind those who are registered to request their ballots. Democrats Abroad has a digital platform and training sessions that make this work efficient and easy to learn.

Please sign up for phone banking to help us reach fellow Democrats in Sweden and around the world, reminding them to request their ballots and vote. It really works, so get involved. Your calls make the difference!

 

DA Sweden’s chapters

DAS has active chapters in Skåne, Stockholm/Uppsala, Western Sweden, Västerbotten, and Götaland (including Östergötland). We're looking to organize local chapters in other parts of the country. We'd love your input if you want to help get a chapter off the ground closer to where you live. Contact DA Sweden today!

Get involved with issue advocacy

In addition to voter registration, we participate in Congressional advocacy on issues that matter to Americans abroad such as changing from citizenship- to residence-based taxation or making Medicare benefits available overseas.

DA has many global issue-based caucuses any DA member can join. DA Sweden currently has active members organizing events in two caucuses:

  • DAS Black Caucus -email
  • DAS Progressive Caucus - email


Getting involved with DA Sweden is a great way to meet like-minded Americans and enjoy social events, afterworks, movie screenings, live online chats with US political candidates, debate watches, and election-watch parties to see the returns roll in. Please join us at one of
our local or virtual events or contact us to express your interest in volunteering or otherwise getting involved. We hope to hear from you soon!
