We are knocking on EVERY Democratic door in the township by Oct. 20

Haverford Democrats canvassing Haverford Democrats – that is the grassroots goal: building community strength by doing it for ourselves, ward by ward, precinct by precinct.

  • Volunteer to knock on 30-40 doors over a two-week span, according to your own schedule.
  • You get exercise and you get to talk to Democrats – who smile when they see us GETTING OUT THE VOTE!
  • HTDems Events page gives you the canvassing schedule and contact info you need. Canvass in your ward or a different ward. Your choice.

Prefer to make phone calls to Democrats, encouraging them to VOTE?

  • Email Brianna Cole, our field director, at bcole@padems.com.
  • Brianna is running a phone bank every weekday evening, 5:00-8:00. Let her know when you can put in 3 hours.

Haverford Township Day is Saturday, October 6. Join the parade!

Thanks to all who made the “Raise Our Visibility” fundraiser a huge success.  We can now rent a flat-bed truck and create a Blue Wave float for HTDay parade.

Attend the float-building party on October 5.  We provide the beer & pizza, you provide the labor. Email grassroots@haverforddemocrats.com.

Be part of the wave in the parade!  Put on a blue t-shirt and parade with fellow Democrats. Imagine a wave of blue marching down Eagle Road.  Gather at  10:00 a.m., Manoa Shopping Center parking lot. You won’t be able to miss us!

Voting Absentee? October 30 is the 'application' deadline.

Pennsylvania makes voting absentee far more difficult than it is in most other states. Don’t be fooled by the close-to-election due dates. Waiting til the last minute can make your ballot too late to be counted. Follow these steps NOW!

  • If this is the first time you are voting, you need to send a copy of your driver’s license.
  • Deadline is 5:00 pm Tues, Oct 30, 2018. But don’t wait. APPLY NOW!

Township Commissioners Meetings

Our township commissioners are now meeting in the NEW Administration Building at 2014 Darby Road. Come check out the new space!
