About Us

The University Democrats is a Contracted Independent Organization (CIO) at the University of Virginia dedicated to developing progressive young leaders and getting Democratic candidates elected to office at every level. Our membership meets weekly to learn how to get those candidates elected as well as learn about various issues, causes, and groups. We're all about campaigning, community service, productive debate, and having fun!

Join UDems today! Dues are only $10 for the whole year, and can be paid at meetings.

UDems is affiliated with the Virginia Young Democrats and College Democrats of America.
