Guidelines for working with aligned groups

Data
Never share DA membership lists, individual member contact info, etc, with an external organization or individual. For more information about our privacy policy, please review this page. For more information about the Confidentiality agreement that anyone with access to data has signed, see this page.

Fundraising

Never use DA tools, events, or membership lists to fundraise for another organization. However we can encourage folk in certain situations to contact the charity of their choice to help ease the individual lives and personal pains of our fellow citizens.

Suggested language: If you are as concerned as we are about the hardships that the current administration is visiting on our fellow citizens, we encourage you to contact the charity of your choice to see how you can help by donating your time, your energy or your dollars. DA is of course committed to working tirelessly at the political level to save the Republic and democracy itself.

Partnerships

Partnering with another group means that you create joint events and share branding of the event (for example, Democrats Abroad & California Democratic Party are partnering on a joint event about Prop 50.)

✅ Do Partner With:

• Other American abroad organizations.

• Left-leaning groups that are not affiliated with a political party or government.

• Make sure your partner knows DA is a political party.

❌ Don’t Partner With:

• Don’t partner with organizations that rely on being non-partisan for their funding or license unless they explicitly agree it’s ok (ex: 501(c)3 organizations).

• Don’t partner with foreign political parties or government organizations

• Don’t partner with organizations with missions focused on issues related to a foreign government or foreign affairs (any doubt, ask your Regional Vice Chair [RVC])
