Acton Democratic Town Committee, Neighbor

We are Acton Democrats working together to promote a common vision aligned with the principles of the Democratic Party and work locally in a variety of ways to support these principles. Voting Membership consists of up to 35 members plus 20-year members. We also can have an unlimited number of associate members.

As Acton DTC members, we are committed to advocate for elected officials who pledge to ensure equal justice for all and will advocate for policies that move our town, our state, and our country forward. We stand in solidarity against racism, hatred, discrimination, and bigotry. We join together to say Black Lives Matter.

Members must be registered Democrats and residents of Acton. The Committee is elected by the public every 4 years in the Democratic Presidential Primary. When vacancies occur, positions may be filled by vote of the Committee. Citizens may also choose to participate as associate members.
