WCP has launched a full brand and website redesign that reflects who they are today: a modern, relationship-driven lender committed to helping real estate investors succeed with honest guidance, flexible solutions, and support that goes far beyond funding.

The redesign marks an important shift as the company continues to expand beyond the Washington, DC region into new East Coast markets. The updated brand removes geographic limitations and brings forward what borrowers consistently say sets WCP apart: real communication, real people, and a genuine investment in every client’s long-term success.

Located on Duke Street, the company supports the city with a full range of services, including video production, event coverage, webcasting, and access to a fully equipped studio soundstage.

Over the years, Rescue Media has worked with Alexandria organizations on event livestreams, promotional brand videos, and more. Many teams also use the studio for interviews, product showcases, training videos, and green-screen filming, providing a quiet, controlled space to create consistent content throughout the year.

Dr. Phillip Connor, Research Fellow at Princeton University, and long-time Arlington resident has published a new book, “MAKE RIGHT: Breaking Modern Injustices with the Ancient Compassion Code.”

If you’ve never met Phillip, you may have heard of his unusually large family of 7 children. (For years, it was hard to miss their huge brown van called “Tank Eh” around town). Or, you may have seen his research, particularly in the immigration policy space. Phillip worked as a researcher at the Pew Research Center for nearly a decade, followed by five years with FWD.us, an immigration and criminal justice reform organization. His policy work as a demographer has been featured in leading academic journals, top media outlets, and in presentations for Congress and several administrations.

Our forums use a ‘candidating’ format: small groups rotate among candidates for 10–15 minutes each, creating direct, meaningful conversations. (It’s like ‘speed-dating.’). All four Alexandria candidates are running uncontested this year, but we’ve invited them to take this opportunity to engage with their constituents.
