COUNTIES HELPING COUNTIES ELECT STRONG DEMOCRATS.
Our Vision
We envision a North Carolina where Democratic legislators, supported by strong county parties, enact laws that ensure opportunity and equality for all.
Our Mission:
In partnership with the Democratic parties of North Carolina counties, we mobilize volunteers and resources to help build party infrastructure and elect Democratic legislators to the General Assembly.
Our Shared History
North Carolina has long been a true purple state, regularly electing both Democrats and Republicans at all levels of leadership. But over the past 15 years, Republican-led gerrymandering and a weakened Democratic infrastructure shifted power in the state legislature to the GOP.
Following the devastating results of the 2016 Presidential election, motivated Democratic voters in Orange County turned their anger into action and 2 groups were born. County-to-County (C2C) and Neighbors on Call (NoC) were created by separate groups of passionate Democratic voters to elect more Democrats to the North Carolina House and Senate.
By leveraging the Democratic stronghold, resource-rich area of the Triangle, both groups worked in close partnership with county parties, candidates, legislative caucuses, and the NCDP, becoming key players in engaging and activating Democratic voters across North Carolina.
From 2016 to 2024, each group mobilized passionate volunteers to build local Democratic power. NoC focused solely on door-to-door canvassing, building the largest volunteer operation in the state. C2C, in addition to volunteer canvassing, also deployed paid canvassers, activated volunteers to phone bank and write postcards, strategized with local county parties and campaign managers, and expanded its Latino Engagement Team.
In 2025, after years of collaborating around our shared mission, merging was a natural and strategic decision. C2C+NoC is a unified, powerful, deliberate organization keeping our eyes on the battle for the NC General Assembly year over year.
our 2024 record
In 2024, we focused on eleven swing races across the state with a goal of breaking the GOP supermajority and handing Governor Stein the power of his veto pen. And we did it, alongside other hard-working Democrats across the state!
Our combined power activated over 1,000 volunteers who knocked on 74,000 doors, made 44,000 phone calls, and sent 40,000 custom-designed, handwritten postcards. In addition, C2C’s paid canvassers knocked on over 51,000 doors and delivered custom slate cards to voters in eight of the selected districts.
Five of the eleven candidates supported by C2C+NOC won their races, each by very slim margins: Sen. Terence Everitt (won by 128 votes; 0.1%); Rep. Bryan Cohn (won by 228 votes; 0.1%); Sen. Woodson Bradley (won by 209 votes, 0.1%); Rep. Dante Pittman (won by 918 votes; 2.2%); and Senator Lisa Grafstein (won by 4245 votes; 3.3%). Given that almost all targeted races were won or lost by less than 4%, C2C+NoC’s efforts were an invaluable factor in breaking the GOP supermajority to deliver critical veto power to Governor Josh Stein.
