Saturday February 14th – Democracy Forward Long Island Get Engaged for the 2026 Elections Event

Love is Acts of service We all know hope isn’t a strategy. That’s why more than 1,400 DFLI volunteers, friends and neighbors, have been organizing on Long Island since 2024 to support the issues and candidates who align with our values. Our efforts have helped to win seats from Eastern Suffolk to Western Nassau. Don’t know how to get involved. Let us count the ways!!! There are many opportunities we’ll show you to help make progress on the issues that affect Long Islanders: HEALTHCARE | CLEAN WATER & ENVIRONMENT | AFFORDABILITY | IMMIGRATION | VOTERS RIGHTS
Learn about these and other opportunities to get engaged during the “volunteer fair” portion of the event. Just choose the group that feels like the best fit for your interest experience and/or skills and talk with one of the co-leaders about ways to participate. You can also learn about our working groups:
- Social Media & Communications
- Data & Analytics
- Voter Engagement
- Becoming a Democratic Committee Member
- Direct Candidate Support (Speakers: Chris Gallant, Congressional District 1; Craig Herskowitz Assembly District 12)
We’ll also be screening the award-winning documentary “Join, or Die”, based on the acclaimed book by Robert Putnam: “Bowling Alone”, about the critical importance of civic organizing. You’ll meet other pro-democracy volunteers, hear from candidates and leave feeling inspired. The festivities commence at 1 PM at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Huntington.
