If you are already an activist in the community and looking for ways to make an even larger impact, consider applying to become a Democratic precinct chair. Precinct chairs organize their precinct and help activate their friends and neighbors to make real changes within the community. They are the backbone of the party and becoming a precinct chair is a great way to get even more involved with the party.
