The news is exhausting, and systemic change feels like a constant seesaw. That’s where Democrats Care steps in. As the service arm of the Rutherford County Democratic Women, this group targets three non-negotiables for a stable, democratic community: food/housing security, healthcare access, and public education. By teaming up with trusted local groups, we fill the immediate needs of vulnerable populations that slow-moving policy change leaves behind. We invite anyone who feels overwhelmed by the unmet needs of our community to join us. Stop the spiral by doing something real for your neighbors, one manageable project at a time.

We also believe in the power of building community through meaningful and joyful experiences. Whether we’re painting bowls for Habitat for Humanity’s “Cookin’ to Build” fundraiser or gathering to clean up the Murfreesboro Greenway, we create opportunities to connect while making a positive difference. Fresh air, shared purpose, and joyful companions can truly do wonders for the soul!

However you choose to participate, your time and effort are an investment in both our community and our shared values. Together, we can build a stronger, more equitable Rutherford County while putting compassion, service, and community care into action.
