About us
We are the Madrid chapter of Democrats Abroad, the official arm of the Democratic Party for Americans living outside the U.S. With the 2026 midterm elections on the horizon, our work to protect democracy and progressive values is more important than ever.
### Our Mission is Simple:
✅ Help U.S. citizens abroad register to vote and request their absentee ballots
✅ Mobilize the overseas vote to defend democracy and elect Democrats
✅ Build a vibrant community of engaged Americans in Madrid
Whether you've been here for years or just arrived, you have a role to play. Your vote from abroad can be the margin of victory in critical races across the U.S. and we’re here to make sure it counts. Please sign-up here to join us as a member!

Join Democrats Abroad Madrid for an engaging evening of political analysis, community, and conversation as Adam Dubin helps us dig into a timely question: was Zohran Mamdani’s rise a uniquely New York City moment, or are there lessons that can help shape Democratic victories in November 2026? From grassroots organizing to coalition-building and narrative strategy, we’ll unpack what translates beyond one city and what it means for Democrats as they organize ahead of the midterm elections this November.
The Madrid Comedy Lab has opened its doors exclusively for this event, creating the perfect setting to pair a thoughtful discussion with a welcoming atmosphere. Spots are limited, so don’t miss your chance to be part of this important conversation.
