Oceana County Democratic Party’s Vision Statement

The Oceana County Democratic Party supports flourishing communities by advocating for and promoting economic growth and equity for all.

Our Purpose

Today’s Democratic Party encourages forward-looking/progressive perspectives through thoughtful, reflective, and respectful exchanges of viewpoints. The Party promotes a strong democracy through free and fair elections, encourages a federal government which regulates business and industry to promote the public interest, ensures a system of fair and impartial justice for all, and supports the most vulnerable of citizens among us. In promoting those values, our party:

A. Advocates for government investment in people through:

  1. Protection of air, land and water

  2. Equal and humane treatment under the law

  3. Support for public safety

  4. Health security for families and individuals

  5. Resources to address education, skill training, jobs and housing needs

B. Organizes the Democratic electorate

C. Aids qualified Democratic candidates for local, county, states, and national elections

Our Meetings

The Oceana County Democratic Party usually meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 7 pm, at the Hart Community Center at 407 S State St, Hart, MI 49420. But, please be sure to check our Facebook page or our the Upcoming Events page of this website at least a week ahead for changes in date/time/location!

Bring Forth Your Light

It’s when the earth shakes
And foundations crumble
That our light is called
To rise up.

It’s when everything falls away
And shakes us to the core
And awakens all
Of our hidden ghosts
That we dig deeper to find
Once inaccessible strength.

It’s in times when division is fierce
That we must reach for each other
And hold each other much
Much tighter.

Do not fall away now.
This is the time to rise.
Your light is being summoned.
Your integrity is being tested
That it may stand more tall.

When everything collapses
We must find within us
That which is indomitable.

Rise, and find the strength in your heart.
Rise, and find the strength in each other

Burn through your devastation,
Make it your fuel.

Bring forth your light.
Now is not the time
To be afraid of the dark.
