Who We Are and What We Do at DHQ


Founded in June 2008, the Democratic Headquarters of the Desert (DHQ) was created to serve as a unifying hub for the many Democratic organizations across Riverside County. At the time, numerous groups were active—each with their own mission and membership—but lacked a central point of coordination. Our headquarters in Cathedral City became that essential space.

Now in our 17th year, DHQ remains the central organizing hub for Democrats in eastern Riverside County. As a Riverside County Democratic Party-chartered organization and a registered State and Federal PAC, we serve a wide range of vital functions:

Coordinate Local Democratic Clubs
We host regular meetings with club presidents to share updates, align strategies, and strengthen collaboration across the region.

Support Voter Engagement
Our volunteers assist with voter registration and provide answers to local and national political questions, helping keep our community informed and involved.

Drive Campaigns and Activism
From phone banking and texting to postcard campaigns, we organize efforts that energize voters and boost Democratic turnout—especially during election seasons.

Provide Space and Resources
DHQ serves as a meeting space for clubs, candidates, campaign teams, and community organizing events year-round.

Power Election Day Efforts
On Election Day, we provide tools, volunteers, and logistical support to help get out the Democratic vote.

Staffed entirely by dedicated volunteers and supported by contributions from individuals and Democratic clubs, DHQ continues to grow in both recognition and political influence.

We are also the proud publishers of Progressive News!, a free email newsletter reaching over 1,600 Democratic households throughout the desert. In June 2025, we celebrated the publication of issue #2,800, marking a major milestone in our ongoing work to inform, engage, and mobilize.

We invite you to stop by our Cathedral City office, meet our amazing volunteers, and join us in building a stronger Democratic majority in the Coachella Valley, Riverside County, and beyond.
