After the 2016 election, a group of highly motivated women began organizing as the East Dallas Chapter of Pantsuit Nation called, "Together We Will - East Dallas." Our mission, experience, and level of involvement in the "resistance" grew from protests, postcard writing, and phone calls, to voter registration, and the formation of The Funky East Dallas Democrats, also known as The FEDDs.
Since our formation, the FEDDs have utilized our PUMP strategy to build community, precinct by precinct. The “PUMP” or Precinct United Mobilization Plan is a magical combination of:
fun + relational organizing + deep canvassing = 💙 ✌️
We build teams of volunteer organizers, precinct by precinct. Newbies come for the fun, effective activities, and stay because they form real friendships. By focusing on community building, we’ve made the organization, and our important work, sustainable. And, we just keep growing! The FEDDs are currently a network of over 5k volunteers across North Texas!!
We share training, resources, and tools with volunteer organizers and Dem Precinct Chairs to increase voter turnout in each precinct and have been successful increasing voter turnout by 5-10% per precinct, each election cycle since our formation.
We’re a flat, 100% volunteer member group. We don’t have dues or bylaws, and we don’t endorse candidates in primaries or municipals. We want everyone to feel welcome to organize with us and run for office.
Join us in making friends & having fun, while making a difference!
