Tired of the chaos in the US government? How to stop reacting and start acting

Are you an American citizen living in or around Bangkok who is alarmed by what’s happening to democracy in the United States? Are you ready to stop reacting and start acting? This is your moment!

Join us for the Democrats Abroad Thailand Annual General Meeting, our most important gathering of the year and a chance for the American community in Thailand to take stock of where we stand, connect with fellow Democrats, and mobilize together as we head into the 2026 mid-term elections. By attending, you can get energized and volunteer to help plan concrete actions to register voters, turn out the vote, and be an important part of the 2026 Blue Wave election. Together, we can make a difference from right here in Thailand.

Attendees will get a live demonstration of the voter registration process for Americans abroad, and practical information on how to volunteer and make a difference in 2026. The AGM is also an opportunity to review DAT’s activities and finances over the past year, and hear from DAT leaders about the work being done.

The meeting will be fired up by a keynote address from Phil Robertson, a two-time DAT Chair and member for over 25 years, and a respected voice on democracy and human rights in Asia. As former deputy director of Human Rights Watch’s Asia Division and current director of Asia Human Rights and Labour Advocates (AHRLA), Phil will speak to the urgent state of democracy at home and abroad, and why the American expat vote from Thailand has never mattered more.

The evening closes with networking—an opportunity to connect with a passionate community of American Democrats across Thailand.
