About the ZPDems

The Zimmerman-Peirce Democrats were formed in February 2024 as a response to the growing amount of anti-LGBTQ legislation introduced in Pennsylvania and nationwide. We are Pike County, PA’s first membership-driven Democratic club devoted to organizing and representing the LGBTQ community and its allies.

Our Mission:

The Zimmermann-Peirce Democrats shall work within the Democratic Party and the community at large to honor and defend the rights and lives of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) people in Pike County and throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Zimmerman-Peirce Democrats will accomplish this by 1) supporting public policies that advance the priorities of the LGBTQ community in Pennsylvania and the greater Pike County region, 2) electing qualified Democratic candidates that support equal rights for LGBTQ people and 3) working to sensitize and educate all candidates and office holders, Democratic Party leaders, and the community at large to the issues and concerns of the LGBTQ community.
