Every win counts
We know a new Trump presidency will attempt to do great harm to our country; you can see it already in the Trump’s cabinet choices. That’s why every single win in the House and Senate was so important.
Getting out voters in close elections mattered so much. Democrats retained the House seats they held in California and flipped three more from red to blue including a win by Adam Gray, who was elected by a margin of less than 0.1% of the vote. Democratic Senate candidates won in Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Arizona despite losses there at the presidential level; where we focused our effort, we got better results.
Although our office is now closed, we are continuing our work virtually as before. If you’re not already on our mailing list, please subscribe today to get updates on coming activities.
To all our wonderful volunteers:
You wrote many thousands of postcards and letters, made millions of phone calls, sent countless text messages, and knocked on doors not only in the Bay Area but in other parts of California and other states as well. You contributed unprecedented amounts of time, energy, and money. The enthusiasm and activism were inspiring throughout the campaign.
This is not the message we were hoping or expecting to write, and it will take all of us some time to process what has happened. But today we want to express our gratitude and appreciation to all of you. We are so lucky to have a community of extraordinarily talented people dedicated to working for a better future for all America. You give us hope. Thank you!

You can make a difference. Volunteering works.
Even if you have never volunteered before, please consider doing so this year. We provide all the tools, training, and guidance you need. We focus on races that are most crucial to achieving our goals. When you and other volunteers engage with voters, they talk to family and friends, creating a ripple effect. Volunteers make a real difference for Democratic candidates at all levels: federal, state, and local.
Come into our office or sign up online today!

More ways to volunteer: become a DVC insider
Help us run DVC activities so we can support more volunteers. When you help the DVC, remotely or in person, you’re supporting hundreds of other volunteers. We need your help with:
Phone bank trainers: Explain and show how to make calls and what to say. Prior experience phone banking is helpful but not required.
Technical support: Apply your networking and computer skills in support of our phone banking operation.
Event support: Help set up/break down special events. Take photos, bring food, greet attendees, and more.
Office support: Greet DVC visitors, provide information, assist with merchandise, and help with general office work.
What is your talent? If you have a knack for social media, creating graphics, photography or videography, event planning, publicity, fundraising, or countless other things, we can use your help.
