Holiday Party
Our end-of-the-year party is at C’est Cheese. Please drop by between 6 and 9 PM to (prematurely) bid adieu to 2025 - and spend time with some of your friends who helped to get you through.
Rockingham County Democrats' Holiday Party
It’s been a challenging year, but through it all we have stood together, organizing, supporting one another, and keeping our values at the heart of everything we do. Now it’s time to take a breath, share some joy, and refuel for the fight ahead.
The event is free to attend, but you are asked to RSVP here.
Give us a Break - Visibility Event
The cost of groceries is too high. Housing is unaffordable. Property taxes continue to soar.
Join us downtown and hold up a sign to show how NH Republicans, who have controlled our state government for years, need to do better.
Save Our Sinking Constitution - Visibility Event
TThe Trump administration is destroying due process. Civil liberties are under attack.
Join us downtown and hold up a sign to show how NH Republicans, who are in full control of our state government, need to stand up to Trump.
Monthly Meeting of the Hampton Democrats
The government that has the greatest impact on your life? It is LOCAL government. At this meeting, we will hear from the candidates for local boards and committees who want an endorsement from our committee.
This is an opportunity to ask candidates questions about issues that are important to you: the quality of our schools, the thoughtfulness of our land use planning and zoning, the prudence of our budget, and the management of our town government. It’s a great chance to decide: Do they get our stamp of approval?
NHSPCA Food Drive
We’re collecting food for animals at the NHSPCA and that will be distributed to local food banks. If you are able to help, we are collecting:
Canned and dry cat and kitten food
Canned and dry dog and puppy food
Triple Crown senior horse feed
Peanut butter and soft dog treats
Hands Off Women's Rights - Visibility Event
The Trump and Ayotte administrations are attacking women’s rights. We’ve had enough.
Join us downtown and hold up a sign to share that Democrats value women’s bodily autonomy, their economic rights, and their safety. NH Republicans, who are in charge of our state government, need to stand up for women.
Social Events Subcommittee Meeting
Calling all party planners! If you like planning social outings, this is the committee for you. Our planning meetings are hosted by Scott and Sandy Blair - and frequently feature soda, wine, and snacks.
ICE is NOT Cool! - Visibility Event
ICE is out of control. They’re functioning outside the law. Masked agents are ripping people off the streets. They are detaining people without warrants. They are waiting outside schools, hospitals, and houses of worship.
If you value our immigrant friends, families, and neighbors, please join us to hold a sign that says that Granite Staters do NOT want this in our communities.
Good Health, Good Life! - Visibility Event
Healthcare is under attack. RJK, Jr. is trying to destroy Health and Human Service with bunk science and conspiracy theories. Trump wants to gut the ACA. And in NH, Republicans are trying to eliminate the Office of Health Access after slashing proven healthcare programs in the state budget.
Join us to tell people that Democrats want them to live healthy, productive, happy lives - and we will fight for them and their families.
Social Events Subcommittee Meeting
