WHO Are We?
We are business owners, employees, authors, students, teachers, retirees, veterans, mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters living in South Strand communities. Like you, we work to improve the lives of residents, protect our rights, and care about ‘We the People’ of South Carolina. With collective action, we can move mountains.

WHY Are We Here?
South Enders Democratic Club is a group of concerned citizens who meet monthly and on special occasions to connect, learn, and promote democratic values. We Defend Democracy, Local Unions, and the Rights of All. We oppose book bans and those who work to suppress or eliminate our personal freedoms and life choices.

WHAT Are Our Core Values?
We CARE for and uplift our community and its people in a fiscally responsible manner.

Civil Dialogue | Active Community Support | Responsible Accountability | Equitable Treatment for ALL

Why YOU Should Join?
Help shape the future of South Carolina, and turn it into the state that others see as a model for real progress on issues that affect us all. To accomplish this, we start with grass roots movements, and clubs, like ours, that promote equity for all, not just the wealthiest in our communities. The time is now to make a difference to ensure everyone has access to voting, healthcare (including women’s right to choose), and equitable treatment under the law.

NOW the wealthy want to Take Away OUR PAID and EARNED SOCIAL SECURITY!!!
