GCC is building power to create social change in Ohio. We are training and organizing youth and adults to engage or re-engage residents in low-propensity voting neighborhoods from targeted neighborhoods in the City of Cleveland and its inner-ring suburbs to get in the habit of voting every election cycle.

Priority Issues: GCC has been organizing around voting rights in Cuyahoga County (the second largest county in the state) since 2012. Cuyahoga County has been designated as one of the single most racially segregated regions in the country. This divide exacerbates other deep-rooted problems affecting Cleveland, including historic redlining and systemic voter suppression and repression. Our Battle for Democracy initiative combats these challenges and fights for non-partisan voter engagement by training youth and adults and organizing them to engage their friends, families, and neighbors in our electoral system., , Currently, the U.S. has among the lowest voter turnout rates of all wealthy democracies, with an electoral landscape intentionally structured to discourage full participation of socially vulnerable populations (low-income, communities of color, disabled, youth). This limits their agency and erodes the overall representative viability of our democratic process. This disenfranchisement is exacerbated by voting administrative policies that, intentionally or unintentionally, suppress or depress the participation of vulnerable citizens., , GCC grounds our work by listening deeply to the needs in our community. We learn from the experiences of people living in the neighborhoods where we also live and work, because they are the ones impacted most by the decisions, policies, and systems that we are working together to change. We strategize together about solutions and actions that could actually work in our current context. Then we activate and train everyday people how to unite, organize, and raise their voices for change. Our tested organizing model organizes people, activities, and partners to work toward the goals that we set together. The current priority issues we are focusing our voter engagement work on currently include increasing voter registration and turnout; collecting signatures to end gerrymandering in Ohio; and key local and state races that affect juvenile justice and improve health and wellness through levy renewals., , Our model mobilizes trusted institutions and voices in our communities to build sustained relationships that create hubs of engagement among previously disenfranchised communities. We call these people Neighborhood Captains, and we work together closely to carefully expand our network. Through this work, we have mobilized thousands of new voters every election to effect change locally (e.g., investing in local schools under fierce opposition and to lean into their power as engaged communities)., , Voters are often treated as consumers: presented with a voting menu every two or four years and then ignored between election cycles. Most Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) efforts fail to build lasting engagement in these communities because they focus on easy to mobilize voters already in the system; make little/no connection between local voting administrative policies and low or declining turnout; and do not invest in establishing systems that help communities solve intractable local issues year-round. , , The most sustainable and scalable way to overcome these barriers to healthy democracy is to transform electoral ecosystems in socially vulnerable communities away from transactional systems mired in distrust and barriers, into relational networks that build power and increase local civic engagement and agency. To do this work, we created the Battle for Democracy – a set of strategies that aim to not only minimize voter depression (after decades of neglect) and suppression by creating a network of engaged leaders ready to teach and be taught how we can collectively make an impact in our democracy. , , Battle for Democracy employs a robust strategy, backed by rigorous research conducted by Cal Poly and the Union of Concerned Scientists, to effectively engage hard-to-reach voters and inspire them to become advocates for voter participation. At the heart of our approach is the Neighborhood Captain Program, a proven model where each captain is entrusted with a list of 75 households with low-propensity voters to nurture over a decade. These voters receive a minimum of 5 personalized contacts per election cycle, resulting in a remarkable increase in voter turnout. There is considerable cost to each of these relational contacts, but the return on investment is strong., , In addition to the Neighborhood Captain model, we are also innovating with youth and Latino communities. Our Youth Army initiative, composed of individuals aged 10 to 22, engages voters particularly in subsidized senior buildings. We have seen this work foster intergenerational relationships and dismantle barriers to voting. We are also spearheading efforts to boost voter engagement in predominantly Puerto Rican neighborhoods. Through initiatives like Voting Fiestas, inspired by Puerto Rico's annual elections, we aim to cultivate leadership within the Spanish-speaking community by nurturing individuals to serve as captains., , With a focus on proven methodologies and innovative approaches, Battle for Democracy is driving meaningful change through relationship- and leadership-building that is amplifying the ideas and power of communities that have historically been underrepresented in the democratic process.

Our grassroots leaders undergo rigorous training to facilitate nuanced dialogue exploring how climate change, economic injustice, barriers to quality education, housing instability, and rental exploitation disproportionately impact racialized communities. This holistic issue-driven approach positions us to engage young voters' deeply held values and policy priorities and bridges those to democratic participation via voting. By equipping our base with nonpartisan resources illuminating how democratic participation leads to better living conditions, we are creating habitual voting patterns for life.

Priority Issues: As we passionately engage with young individuals throughout Washington in our voter registration efforts, we are also collecting Voter Comment Cards and igniting conversations that bridge the gap between issues and voting. We know that young people are issue-voters first, which is why our approach begins by asking them a simple yet profound question: "What issues matter most to you?" In just 30 seconds, they have the opportunity to make their voices heard on these comment cards and subsequently we are able to either update or register them to vote. The issues we uncover during these conversations encompass a wide spectrum of critical topics, including: Democracy Access: Ensuring equitable access to our democratic processes. Progressive Revenue: Our tax code is the most regressive in the United States and it lets the people with the most money get away with paying the least. This is not sustainable or fair. By fixing our upside tax code and putting money into the hands of everyday people, we are building an economy that allows all of us to achieve our goals and dreams. Climate Action, Gun Control, Tenants Rights, and Housing Affordability: Our young people deserve a world that has clean air and water, housing for all, and workers rights. We are building a world where youth are able to thrive. Democracy Protection: Our democracy works best when everyone regardless of their age, income level, or race has their voice heard and their vote counted. However, there are still barriers for young people to realize their full political power. We are building voting systems that work for all of us. Education Equity and Cost-Free College: Every person, regardless of race, income, or immigration status deserves a high quality education. However, right now most students’ basic needs are not being met and higher education is inaccessible. By investing in our education systems we are investing in all students by ensuring needed housing, food, materials, counseling services to achieve their educational aspirations. By actively listening to the concerns and passions of young voters, we're not only building a stronger, more inclusive democracy but also fostering a sense of agency and leadership within our youth constituents. Together, we're shaping a future that reflects the issues that matter most to those who will inherit it and it all begins with registering our peers to vote.

YCV’s nonpartisan approach combined with the quality and consistency of voter services allows us to partner with and gain access to spaces that are not available to partisan organizations, such as schools and detention facilities. Our programs focus on voting mechanics & civic education: what's on the ballot, when to vote, where to vote, levels of government and connecting issues that matter to voters with the offices that influence them.
Young Democrats of Washington creates a space for young people to invigorate the Democratic party, grow lifelong friendships, empower young people to run for office, and campaign for candidates we can count on to make positive change.
YDWA has above all one goal: to get people under 36 involved in the Democratic Party. We accomplish this through voter registration, encouraging voting, organizing and bringing young people to the Democratic Party. We hope to provide a strong basis for the party’s future.
