Disclaimers
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.

We are working in Oregon's 5th and 6th to motivate rural young voters. 50% of our people under 26 have never voted, and 25% have voted once. These voters need to know they can make a difference rather than letting their parents and grandparents make decisions for them.
The purposes of the Organization are to:
i. Educate rural voters on issues that matter most to them,
ii. Engage with voters to encourage voting participation,
iii. Hold legislators accountable for their actions,
iv. Embrace rational, civic-minded rural values by modeling inclusion, respect, and fairness in all of our actions
v. Empower forward-thinking candidates to run for and hold elected office in rural Oregon.

We will educate and engage non-affiliated voters in Deschutes County, ages 18-35, who did not vote in the 2020 general election, including Latinx youth voters. We are establishing partnerships with local colleges and the Latino Community Association to develop and execute targeted messages and strategies for these populations.
Our vision is that every person has the Desire, the Right, the Knowledge, and the Confidence to participate in our democracy. Our mission is to help make that happen through: 1) Voters Education/Citizen Education: We present unbiased nonpartisan information about elections, the voting process, and issues. 2) Action/Advocacy: After conducting a comprehensive study, we use our positions to advocate for or against particular policies in the public interest.

Make the Road Action NY will mobilize its base to make sure that they are heard at the polls during this pivotal election year. We will use proven to work tactics to reach the most voters and ensure that they know the important issues being voted on down the ballot.
Make the Road Action (MRA) is a 501c4 organization that builds political power rooted in working-class Latinx communities, promotes policy solutions that improve the lives of all working-class and low-income people, and strengthens the movement for justice through electoral and grassroots organizing to advance progressive political and policy change. MRA focuses its work on mobilizing our base to vote and become active participants in the civic process.
Priority Issues: MRA NY has prioritized civic engagement work since our founding. A significant portion of our civic engagement work is dedicated to year-round issue identification and campaign development. Our staff conducts outreach in our communities and works to engage members in the political process and in our issue areas such as, immigrant justice, health equity, tenant’s rights, youth empowerment, LGBTQ rights, environmental equity, policing and criminal justice, education, and economic justice. We hold weekly general member meetings to ensure that knowledge is shared across the organization and so committees can be informed on how to best support one another. We also strive to develop community leaders who can become experts on a particular issue, take on key roles in actions/events, and act as liaisons between committees. This allows us to avoid siloing and builds power within our membership. Because we are consistently engaging our base, we are quick to identify and prioritize needs as they arise and respond accordingly.

Priority Issues: We focus on issues of racial, economic, and gender justice (including, but not limited to, reproductive, immigrant, worker and climate justice). Here is more on our analysis of the current state of play:, , We’re living through a crisis on a scale that advanced capitalist countries haven’t faced since the Great Depression. We’re in a unique and troubling moment in US and world history. Four gathering crises—climate, economic, geopolitical, and migratory—are often discussed as discrete phenomena, when they are in fact deeply interconnected. By precipitating disaster on multiple fronts, the forces of organized capital limit our ability to marshall government in response to another, more fundamental, crisis—a crisis in democracy., , Meanwhile, white supremacist forces have been taking advantage of growing insecurity and ramping up their rhetoric of hate to harness fear for political gain. They have invested deeply in popular education and aggressive training. Turning Point USA, Proud Boys, and Blexit—they have developed infrastructure to recruit people into their ideological home. We got a taste of their power in another historic American tragedy during the January 6th insurrection at the US Capitol. Dog whistle appeals to bigotry continue to prevent natural alliances between working families of all races, religions, and backgrounds., , We must outperform the forces of greed and authoritarianism and build infrastructure to demand a multiracial democracy that matches and surpasses their formidable power., , Everyday life and stability for working women and families, and especially people of color in those categories, are more precarious today than they have been in generations. Student debt is sky-high, wages are suppressed as profits surge, the tax structure is an abject scam for the wealthy, pro-worker legal/political institutions face erosion, and healthcare is increasingly inaccessible and unaffordable—run for profit rather than for care. Intersecting crises overwhelm and divide people along lines of race, class, gender, and more. Working class, feminist, and racial justice movements are treated as unreasonable for seeking human rights that already commonly exist abroad. But when corporations face risk, the US government knows no limits propping up their owners. The pandemic and economic crisis have worsened these realities, leaving those most vulnerable with less. Getting through this moment is one thing. Building for resiliency beyond it is another. , , Resiliency will in part come from making immediate material changes in working people’s lives, but that alone isn’t enough. Each year, the rules and realities of our democratic institutions skew more and more toward representing land over people, older rural whites over people of color and young people in cities, and capital over constituent needs. We must strive toward the dream of a genuine multiracial democracy that reflects the desires and needs of our communities. And meeting those needs will mean expanding the limits of what’s currently considered possible—both in government and in the hearts and minds of the people who desperately need bold ideas and bolder action., , This isn’t something that can be achieved within the halls of power alone; the change will also be driven from the outside. That is why, now more than ever, investing in mass organizing at scale is crucial. It will take more than multi-organizational base building alone; it will take a leaderful movement with the tools and infrastructure to get things done while expanding its own representation and reach.
