Democratic Club of Ventura

Since 1992, Democratic Club of Ventura has served a diverse community, welcoming Democrats of all ages, faiths, genders and backgrounds. We create a social and intellectual space for those in Ventura and neighboring towns who seek fellowship, civil discourse, volunteer opportunities and the promotion of social justice causes. DCV proudly belongs to the network of clubs aligned with the Ventura County Democratic Party.
