While this database contains more than 500 entities, it is not a complete list of the thousands of organizations doing impactful work. Organizations are invited to fill out this Card Creation Form to be added to the CaPA Connector.
Most of the CaPA Connector data is self-reported by the organizations and CaPA has not completed a 3rd party assessment of accuracy.
CaPA evaluates where programs are fielded within a State by using congressional district boundaries. An org delivering engagement actions within the boundaries of a congressional district does not necessarily mean that group is engaging in a congressional district race.

Power to the polls knocked on over
675,000 doors, engaging in nearly 94,000 conversations with voters. We deployed over 300 community organizers, and our digital, radio, and streaming advertisements were
seen over 59,000,000 times.
Thanks in part to these efforts, turnout in Milwaukee actually increased in 2024 vs 2020,
and Milwaukee was the #1 city in the United States for voter turnout percentage.
Power to the Polls was created to fundamentally change the way we approach organizing in BIPOC communities. We are doing that in 3 key ways:
1. Year Round Organizing & Communication Infrastructure
2. Recruiting Organizers With Deep Roots in the Community
3. Using The Latest Tools, Technology, & Targeting - including digital, social media, influencers, radio, and relational organizing.
Power to the Polls is a Black-led 501c4 and 527 organization created by civil rights leaders, faith leaders, labor unions, and activists across Wisconsin. Our goal is to fundamentally change the way we organize and mobilize Black, Brown, and working-class communities in Wisconsin, remove barriers to the ballot box, and give
power back to people who are all too often left behind.
The Asian American and Pacific Islander population is the fastest growing demographic in Ohio. But we are under-represented. We have been mailing questionnaires to AAPI voters throughout Ohio, asking about their experiences as AAPI citizens in our state, top of mind issues, and if they plan to vote in 2024.
The AAPI Research Group and Engagement Team - Ohio (TARGETOHIO) believes in the collective power of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. AAPI Ohioans must be included as an integral part of our democracy—civically engaged, politically active, and voting in record numbers. TARGETOHIO will serve as the vehicle for delivering the AAPI political voice.
