Democrats Need You
By Dorothy Wilkinson, WSD Chair
I have some questions for you.
Are you a voter registrar?
Are you willing to register voters at the State Fair?
The Democratic Party of New Mexico needs voter registrars to register voters at the State Fair. If you can register voters and want to volunteer at the state fair September 4-14, go to
https://www.mobilize.us/NMDemocrats/event/830498/ to register or call Sean Ward (cell: 505-303-0123; or office 505-236-4996, Dial 6). Just let Sean know that you are from West Side Dems.
We need your signature
Westside Democrats, along with Rio Grande Indivisible, have created a resolution to be given to the governor and New Mexico House and Senate leaders ln support of immigrant rights.
Please read it, and if you agree, sign the resolution. You may do so with a click HERE
Thank you so much,
Dorothy Wilkinson

WSD Clarifies Its Mission
This is our chance to vote for City Council members who will reflect the values of West Side Democrats and meet the needs of West Side citizens. So we are changing our policy regarding what we publish in our newsletters. We will focus exclusively on issues of the West Side.
Beginning the week of Aug. 10 through Nov. 4, our newsletters will cover elections on the West Side, including City Council Districts 1, 3 and 5 and School Board District 5. We will ask our members to respond to the new emphasis periodically.
Save the Date
Our next meeting is slated for September. It will be a
Candidates’ Carnival. We have applied to use the West Gate Community Center on Sept. 20 from 12:30 p.m. until 2:30 p.m.
Once we receive approval to use West Gate, we’ll publish it and add it to our website.

West Side Dems Immigration Info Hub
“If the rights of one person are denied, the rights of all of us are denied. This concept of mass deportation is very frightening. So West Side Dems will develop a hub of information about immigration and mass deportation.”

Our Mission
To Serve the 88,000 Democrats
Living on the West Side
Democrats Care!
We encourage and support candidates who will work for the good of everyone in our community. We believe in a government that is truly “of the people, by the people, and for the people”…not just for corporations, Wall Street, or the rich.
United By A Common Goal…
Social justice and human rights are more important than corporate profits. We seek to improve the quality of life for all of our residents through grass-roots support of candidates who listen and work to implement liberal programs and legislation.
Get Involved…
Your candidates can’t win without your help. Canvassing, phone banking, word-of-mouth, volunteering, and donating are all ways to work together to achieve our common goals.
