Democratic National Convention Invites Americans to Add Voices to 2020 Party Platform Process, Democratic National Committee Releases Further Details on Platform Hearings

MILWAUKEE, WI—As part of efforts to make this year’s convention the most inclusive and engaging yet, the Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) today launched a digital engagement campaign inviting voters to share what ideas, values, and beliefs they want to see reflected in the 2020 Party Platform. The campaign will allow anyone who has ideas about the party’s agenda to record, upload, and share their story in a brief video message. This project is the first in a series of engagement campaigns that convention organizers will roll out between now and August, allowing Americans across the country to add their voices to convention programming.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) previously announced that the Platform Drafting Committee will hold public hearings this week. In addition, the DNC announced today that the hearings will cover the following topics:

• Monday, June 29 from 5-8pm ET: Addressing the COVID-19 Health Crisis and Building Back Better

• Wednesday, July 1 from 5-8pm ET: A Vision for a More Equitable Future

• Thursday, July 2 from 5-8pm ET: Restoring the Soul of America

All hearings will be livestreamed on the DNCC’s YouTube channel. The full Platform Drafting Committee will meet on July 15th.
