College Democrats
It Starts With Us.
Who We Are
UF College Democrats is the Official Voice of the Democratic Party for students at the University of Florida. We aim to keep our members politically engaged and build a supportive and inclusive community.
How to Get Involved
Come to GBMs
We host bi-weekly general body meetings where we host our Caucus Chair presentations on various political topics, play games, as well as meet candidates and politicians.
Hang Out at Socials
Aside from being a political organization, we hope to build an inclusive community. We host socials at local restaurants, trivia nights, and even go on trips!
Organize with Us
UFCD is apart of a progressive coalition in Gainesville that joins together to organize in light of any political changes. We have lead the organizing efforts for our local Ban Off Our Bodies Rally, March For Our Lives, Sasse Out of Our Swamp, Mourning the Earth and more!
