OVERVIEW WCDP Neighborhood Teams:

Lead Where You Live

What are Neighborhood Teams?

Neighborhood Teams are the foundation of WCDP’s year-round organizing strategy. They connect volunteers to voters in their own communities, build lasting relationships, and create a sustainable pipeline of leaders – so we’re not starting from scratch every election.

 

Instead of organizing only during campaign season, Neighborhood Teams help us: 

• Stay visible and engaged year-round
• Build trust with voters through relationships
• Support candidates with consistent, coordinated voter contact
• Grow new leaders at every level of the party

 

Why Neighborhood Teams Matter in 2026

• One of the strongest Democratic candidate slates in years
• 2-3 elections requiring serious organizing and fundraising
• Momentum from recent Democratic wins
• Republicans leaving their party and persuadable voters up for grabs

Neighborhood Team Leaders

• Help translate county-wide strategy into local action

 

Regional Team Leaders

• Support multiple Neighborhood Teams within a region
• Coordinate regional goals, training, social events, parades/community events, and communication
• Serve as a bridge between teams and WCDP

 

What Neighborhood Teams Do

• Talk with neighbors about issues, elections, and candidates
• Door knock, phone bank, and engage relationally
• Host or support local social and community events
• Identify future volunteers, leaders, and candidates
• Assist with sign placement and poll greeting at their polling location on Election Day

 

Activity ramps up during election season – but relationships are built year-round.

• Clear goals and expectations
• Training and onboarding for all roles
• Tools, data, and voter contact support
• Regular communication and check-ins
• Social opportunities to build community and prevent burnout

Leadership doesn’t require a title. It starts by stepping up where you live. And it’s critical we stay aligned!

This is our party. These are our neighborhoods. Together, we can win!
