Welcome to Democrats Abroad Lion City Committee (DALCC)!  We are the Country Committee of Democrats Abroad for those living in Singapore.  We offer a community and point of contact for Democrats seeking to stay connected, informed and engaged while living abroad.  Our activities include voter registration events in election years, bringing Democrats together through networking and social events and volunteer opportunities, providing updates on legislation and races back home through our social media, tracking issues of relevance to all Americans living abroad and supporting Democratic candidates.

Democrats Abroad is the official Democratic Party organization for the more than 8.7 million Americans living outside the United States.  It has the status of a ‘state’ in the Democratic Party, so is represented by voting members on the Democratic National Committee and has its own delegation to the Democratic National Convention. 

We look forward to hearing from you and hope to see you at a future event!

Democratically yours,

    April 27, 2021

    Having a Congress that understands and supports the Americans abroad community is essential to building critical Congressional support for our reform recommendations. That's why we are working to increase membership in the Congressional Americans Abroad Caucus - a group of Congressional leaders motivated to address the unique issues of the Americans abroad community.

    Invite your Congressperson to join the American Abroad Caucus TODAY.

    Find a script, ways to get in touch and more details about the caucus and our caucus membership drive.  CLICK HERE if you are on a handheld device.  CLICK HERE to download our Americans Abroad Caucus Membership Drive Participation Guide. 

     

    The Americans Abroad Caucus was founded by Rep Carolyn Maloney (D-NY12) and is currently chaired by Rep. Maloney and Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV01).  A recent register of the Americans Abroad Caucus members is here.

    The caucus helps guide us when we have reforms to present, problems that require government support or questions that relate to the federal government. They are critical help in our work to provide tax relief for Americans abroad, plus expand voting rights, address our immigration issues, and so much more.

    We have prepared this participation guide and this webpage for handheld devices which includes everything you need for participating in the Americans Abroad Caucus Membership Drive.  If you have any questions about the campaign or the advice in the guides please send questions to [email protected]

    Thank you for your support for this campaign and for our work on behalf of the Americans abroad community.
