Caucuses
CADEM Caucuses are chartered based on historically underrepresented communities in California as well as issues that are important to our Democratic Party Values.
To become a voting CADEM Caucus member, you can join each caucus you wish to be a member of now! This does not make you an automatic voting member, so you should reach out to the caucus chair to get more information on the caucus and their individual membership rules. You can find that info here.
CADEM Caucus Meetings are open to all Democrats – click on the schedule tab to see all meetings
