:The Right to be Heard," used by permission of the Norman Rockwell Family Foundation.
In the coming months, people who don't believe in democracy or your rights will expect you to forego your power and just get over it. They will dismiss you and tell you everything is just fine. Don't forget who you are. You are the product of the first nation based not on tribe or race or monarchy or religion, but based on the idea that we are all equal. You have in your DNA the bold ideals of free people whose forbears struggled and fought and died, not just for the idea of democracy but for a true love and commitment to each other. There are people who want to destroy that love and commitment and make us hate and distrust each other. But we will build a community that resists that effort every day and in every way, and we will win.
The mission of NEBCD is to encourage an educated electorate and get out the vote.
Monthly Meetings
2nd Saturdays, 10 a.m. to Noon
-
Monthly meetings feature guest speakers who are elected officials, activists with various causes, subject-matter experts, and others who help us understand what's happening in government and politics.
-
During elections, NEBCD sponsors forums to meet candidates and ask them questions so they are more than a campaign sign or a stump speech.
-
After forums, NEBCD members vote on whether to endorse any candidates.
-
Anyone is welcome to join NEBCD to be included.

NEBCD is a Nonprofit 527 Political Action Committee (PAC)
NEBCD is designated by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a 527 political action committee that relies on dues and donations to carry out its mission.
NEBCD has no paid staff. All donations support leasing and operating a campaign office during election cycles. Volunteers at the office provide administrative support to candidates and a point of contact for voters and volunteers seeking information and campaign materials.
NEBCD is the only Democratic club in Bexar County that operates an office.
Donations
We know you get lots of requests for donations from national candidates and advocacy groups, and you often wonder where your money would do the most good.
But do you know that the success of all candidates--national, state, city and county candidates--depends on local grassroots organizations--your neighbors who volunteer to register voters, knock on doors, make phone calls, write postcards and spend countless hours performing other basic tasks to Get Out the Vote?
That's what NEBCD does for our community.
Please consider donating to our local political efforts to build a better democracy from the ground up.
