About Us

The El Cerrito Democratic Club provides a forum for area residents to discuss issues of local, national, and international importance and provides opportunities to participate in election campaigns.

Our General Membership Meetings are open to all and held on the fourth Tuesday of each month except October and December, when we typically have our annual dinner and holiday party.

Our Meetings are in a hybrid format accessible both in-person at Hana Gardens Senior Apartments (10860 San Pablo Ave, next to El Cerrito City Hall) and remotely via Zoom. For those of us who’ve been able to come to Hana Gardens, it’s been wonderful to be in community and once again gather in person.

We encourage you to come to Hana Gardens or join the Zoom call (link in our Newsletter)  a few minutes early to mix-and-mingle with fellow ECDC members.

When:  Meetings are usually on the fourth Tuesday of each month.

Time:  Social —  6:20 PM

Meeting starts at 6:30 PM

Where: Hana Gardens Senior Apartments – 10860 San Pablo Avenue – El Cerrito
