As USC is located in South Central Los Angeles, we prioritize making a positive impact on our local communities by actively participating in community service events with non-profit organizations and local officials. We are working tirelessly to maintain safe activities for our members to stay engaged and dedicated to community service initiatives both on and off campus. https://www.trojandemocrats.org/about daily 0.75 2025-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fd226f84d5c7011280f755/1629062133444-PZRUJ6MMON5F2M25035X/pres3.JPG History However, it wasn’t until the late 1940s and 1950s that the club began to attain prominence. During this time, members who reinvigorated the club later became some of California’s biggest political influences. These members included Jesse M. Unruh, who went on to become Speaker of the California State Assembly and the late Joe Cerrell, a political consultant to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fd226f84d5c7011280f755/1629062484011-PS6LHCT71AOVTWARH2AV/pres1.JPG History While the Club has changed names several times over the course of the decades (the Wilsonites, the Cox-Roosevelt Club, Trojan Democrats, USC College Democrats, then back to Trojan Democrats) it has consistently been a force of political activism and engagement on this campus. As a result, USC has drawn many notable figures to speak, including then-Senator John F. Kennedy, President Gerald Ford, Senator Al Franken, and President Barack Obama. https://www.trojandemocrats.org/general-1 daily 0.75 2025-08-02 https://www.trojandemocrats.org/general-5 daily 0.75 2025-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847331546-NBMOOBORXBR1I52QDOEM/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg General 5 Scenic landscape of a large lake surrounded by green hills and mountains under a cloudy sky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847332082-XD1KMA4EER5NVQWQZJ4O/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg General 5 Scenic landscape featuring a body of water with a small green island, rolling grassy hills in the foreground, and tall mountains partially shrouded in clouds in the background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847330913-1F0BEVH4E8EWIS3SJYLB/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg General 5 Scenic landscape with a large mountain range, a lake, and green fields in the foreground. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847330272-BEQUDHMNDH37S90TSA0T/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg General 5 Scenic landscape with a lake, rolling green hills, and tall mountains in the background under a cloudy sky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847329019-GP1Z6VXLF9U75MC4JIO0/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg General 5 Scenic landscape with a lake in the foreground, rolling grassy hills, and tall mountains in the background under cloudy sky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847328311-R7PAZDQTBOBSEOWC9YQ3/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg General 5 Scenic landscape with a large mountain in the background, a body of water in the midground, and grassy fields with scattered shrubs in the foreground. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847327684-2C1WKZU35SCT0ZV1OJOX/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg General 5 Scenic landscape with a lake, rolling grassy hills, and a mountain range in the background under a cloudy sky. https://www.trojandemocrats.org/information-for-new-members daily 0.75 2025-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fd226f84d5c7011280f755/fc01bdd7-db04-4371-bcb5-3611b511fdf2/KB+TD+Photo.jpeg https://www.trojandemocrats.org/home-1 daily 1.0 2025-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fd226f84d5c7011280f755/87fbba91-db3a-43db-aa60-04687fb66acf/2025_09_04_Trojan+Democrats+Meeting+%28Henry+Kofman%29-36+%281%29.jpg Home - meet the e-board Click the button to view our e-board members. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fd226f84d5c7011280f755/1755458516097-87MSPBG27PKQ5T3K5XT7/unsplash-image-WYd_PkCa1BY.jpg Home - Newsroom View recent statements, articles and more.

This achievement builds on a legacy of student engagement that began with our then-sister organization, Students for Barack Obama, later known as Trojans for Obama, which became the university’s largest club when it was founded in 2008.
