About DCFDW
In 1972, a dynamic group of women from the Metropolitan Women’s Democratic Club and the DC Democratic Women’s Club established the DC Federation of Democratic Women (DCFDW).
DCFDW has three primary objectives: unite women of the Democratic Party, promote the cause of the Democratic Party, and encourage full participation of women in every level of the Democratic Party structure.The DCFDW is a member of the National Federation of Democratic Women (NFDW), the women’s organization of the Democratic Party. DCFDW is also an affiliate of the DC Democratic State Committee (DCDSC).
