Democratic Organizations

Caucus and auxiliary organizations provide a voice within the Party for otherwise marginalized groups. Having served long as the bedrock of activism within the Democratic Party, these organizations promote the issues and causes important to their respective group members. Caucus and auxiliary organizations inform, educate, and motivate voters of their respective groups to get out the vote for candidates who will support or champion their causes.

In Monroe County, some Caucuses and Auxiliary Party Organizations are PACs that endorse and contribute to candidate campaigns. The following are Auxiliary Party Organizations of the Monroe County Democratic Party and Indiana Democratic Party, active in Greater Bloomington as of 2022. If you have not already, we encourage you to reach out to any organization that may interest you to learn more!
