Our story
We are the official Democratic Party here in the Southeast Valley: Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, & Southeast Mesa (LD15)
Our Story
We began mid-2022 with two people and a vision. Then, three people, then four, and then a core team. We built the foundation we needed to grow: the organizing infrastructure, the tools, and the relationships.
2022
We brought like-minded neighbors together. We built partnerships inside and outside our community. We established systems to train and empower like-minded neighbors to build and lead strong hyperlocal teams.
2023
By coming together, we began to rebuild and repair our community to create a sense of belonging for everybody. We are creating a movement to shape our community to be safer, more welcoming, and affirming for all.
2024
Freedom to make reproductive choices
Freedom to drink clean water & breathe clean air
Freedom to read, learn, & get an accurate education
Freedom from weapons of war in our schools
Freedom to live authentically as you are
Freedom to stay healthy without going broke
Freedom of religion & freedom from religion
Freedom from "big tech" privacy violations online
Freedom to vote and choose our leaders
We dream of a future where people have the freedoms that matter in their daily lives. We dream of a community that is more welcoming and safe for every body.
We are rooted in a solid foundation of these unwavering values:
The values that drive us
We show up. In our community. At our school boards. In our state legislature. At the local town hall (and the one we'll build). At the tables. On your ballots.
We advocate for our community and every body who lives here. For fairness. For equality. For every body.
We believe any citizen can make an impact. No one is alone. We reach out. We pull together. We win.
What We Do
How we organize
Neighborhood Teams
Our most important organizers are at the neighborhood level. All organizing is based on relationships, and neighborhood connections are always the strongest.
Community Teams
Our community teams support our neighborhood teams. They use their local knowledge and local relationships to provide training, support, and resources to our neighborhood leaders.
Training & Support Team
Our community-wide team provides support and training to volunteers and organizers across the Southeast Valley. Our job is to remove barriers, provide training, and get out of the way to let you do what is effective.
Functional Teams
Most volunteers have specific tasks that they love and some that they don't. We encourage volunteers to focus on the tasks that match their skillsets, interests, and personality. We encourage you to find activities that re-energize you and make you feel excited.
These teams provide task-specific support to our neighborhood teams like canvassing, phonebanking, textbanking, and more.
Digital Organizing & Communications
Our communications and digital organizing volunteers help spread the word, bring visibility to key issues, and work to convert online engagement into real world action.
Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.
