Democracy works when every voice can lead.
PDWC empowers progressive Democratic women and non-binary people through education, mentorship, advocacy, and support for candidates who can make a lasting difference.
Who we are
A women-led political organization with an independent voice.
PDWC provides a forum for politically engaged Democrats to exchange ideas, take part in public life, and support candidates committed to equality and progressive values.
Rooted in Muskegon and reaching beyond it, the organization connects local participation to the wider political work shaping Michigan.
