COVA Coalition (Group)

Update this information

Democrats have work to do. Many voters still do not know they have been redistricted, especially in the rural areas. While the rural part of the district is only 14% of the voters, this population of mostly low income voters of color needs connection and outreach.

Georgia Advancing Communities Together, Inc. (c3)

Update this information

By organizing events in Clayton County, Fitzgerald, Atlanta, and Macon, Georgia ACT focused on increasing voter registration, educating low-income housing residents and college students about the impact of voting on housing policies. As a result, we registered 107 new voters, provided identification assistance to 11 people, and assisted hundreds others in verifying their voter status, empowering them with knowledge about their rights and the electoral process.

Georgia ACT is currently conducting coordinated voter engagement efforts in Georgia (including voter registration, education, and mobilization). We are doing tabling, social media campaigns, targeted canvassing, email campaigns and rallies. Our target areas are Clayton, DeKalb, Fulton, Bibb and Ben Hill Counties that include traditionally underserved lower propensity areas (i.e. low-income apartment complexes, rural communities, and HBCU campuses).

We build, support, and inform a statewide network of thriving organizations, professionals, and individuals advancing equitable housing and community development. Our Vision – All Georgia families have safe and decent housing in vibrant neighborhoods.

Greater Cleveland Congregations (c3)

Update this information

GCC is building power to create social change in Ohio. We are training and organizing youth and adults to engage or re-engage residents in low-propensity voting neighborhoods from targeted neighborhoods in the City of Cleveland and its inner-ring suburbs to get in the habit of voting every election cycle.

Greater Cleveland Congregation’s (GCC) mission is to be a powerful force for change, creating justice and opportunity in Northeast Ohio. We unite people across lines of race, class, religion, and geography to take action to strengthen and improve the quality of life of our neighborhoods. As a non-partisan organization of 39 faith communities and partner organizations, we work together to build power for social justice.

Priority Issues:

GCC has been organizing around voting rights in Cuyahoga County (the second largest county in the state) since 2012. Cuyahoga County has been designated as one of the single most racially segregated regions in the country. This divide exacerbates other deep-rooted problems affecting Cleveland, including historic redlining and systemic voter suppression and repression. Our Battle for Democracy initiative combats these challenges and fights for non-partisan voter engagement by training youth and adults and organizing them to engage their friends, families, and neighbors in our electoral system., , Currently, the U.S. has among the lowest voter turnout rates of all wealthy democracies, with an electoral landscape intentionally structured to discourage full participation of socially vulnerable populations (low-income, communities of color, disabled, youth). This limits their agency and erodes the overall representative viability of our democratic process. This disenfranchisement is exacerbated by voting administrative policies that, intentionally or unintentionally, suppress or depress the participation of vulnerable citizens., , GCC grounds our work by listening deeply to the needs in our community. We learn from the experiences of people living in the neighborhoods where we also live and work, because they are the ones impacted most by the decisions, policies, and systems that we are working together to change. We strategize together about solutions and actions that could actually work in our current context. Then we activate and train everyday people how to unite, organize, and raise their voices for change. Our tested organizing model organizes people, activities, and partners to work toward the goals that we set together. The current priority issues we are focusing our voter engagement work on currently include increasing voter registration and turnout; collecting signatures to end gerrymandering in Ohio; and key local and state races that affect juvenile justice and improve health and wellness through levy renewals., , Our model mobilizes trusted institutions and voices in our communities to build sustained relationships that create hubs of engagement among previously disenfranchised communities. We call these people Neighborhood Captains, and we work together closely to carefully expand our network. Through this work, we have mobilized thousands of new voters every election to effect change locally (e.g., investing in local schools under fierce opposition and to lean into their power as engaged communities)., , Voters are often treated as consumers: presented with a voting menu every two or four years and then ignored between election cycles. Most Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) efforts fail to build lasting engagement in these communities because they focus on easy to mobilize voters already in the system; make little/no connection between local voting administrative policies and low or declining turnout; and do not invest in establishing systems that help communities solve intractable local issues year-round. , , The most sustainable and scalable way to overcome these barriers to healthy democracy is to transform electoral ecosystems in socially vulnerable communities away from transactional systems mired in distrust and barriers, into relational networks that build power and increase local civic engagement and agency. To do this work, we created the Battle for Democracy – a set of strategies that aim to not only minimize voter depression (after decades of neglect) and suppression by creating a network of engaged leaders ready to teach and be taught how we can collectively make an impact in our democracy. , , Battle for Democracy employs a robust strategy, backed by rigorous research conducted by Cal Poly and the Union of Concerned Scientists, to effectively engage hard-to-reach voters and inspire them to become advocates for voter participation. At the heart of our approach is the Neighborhood Captain Program, a proven model where each captain is entrusted with a list of 75 households with low-propensity voters to nurture over a decade. These voters receive a minimum of 5 personalized contacts per election cycle, resulting in a remarkable increase in voter turnout. There is considerable cost to each of these relational contacts, but the return on investment is strong., , In addition to the Neighborhood Captain model, we are also innovating with youth and Latino communities. Our Youth Army initiative, composed of individuals aged 10 to 22, engages voters particularly in subsidized senior buildings. We have seen this work foster intergenerational relationships and dismantle barriers to voting. We are also spearheading efforts to boost voter engagement in predominantly Puerto Rican neighborhoods. Through initiatives like Voting Fiestas, inspired by Puerto Rico's annual elections, we aim to cultivate leadership within the Spanish-speaking community by nurturing individuals to serve as captains., , With a focus on proven methodologies and innovative approaches, Battle for Democracy is driving meaningful change through relationship- and leadership-building that is amplifying the ideas and power of communities that have historically been underrepresented in the democratic process.

Ohio Families Unite Against Police Brutality (c3)

Update this information

In 2024, OFUAPB ran a large canvassing program in Dayton, Ohio who are directly impacted by police brutality. The canvassers knocked 52,614 doors and connected with 13,203 voters. We also called over 6,400 voters and texted an additional 4,800+ voters in Dayton to remind them to bring their ID to vote and help locate their polling place. In 2025 we are organizing year-round with direct voter engagement and state and local advocacy on police reform.

Our layered approach includes canvassing, phonebanking, text banking, pollstanding on Election Day, digital and mail. We ensure investment into existing infrastructure in these communities, preserve the authenticity of the trusted messenger’s voice, and support longer term organizing and mobilization for the progressive movement in these spaces.

Our mission is to fight against police brutality and to support our extended families. Who, while not related by blood, are bonded to us through the needless bloodshed of our loved ones.

Ohio Organizing Campaign (c4)

Update this information

The Campaign registered nearly 160,000 Black, working-class, and young voters in cities such as Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. Our endorsement committee (made up of students, formerly incarcerated individuals, faith leaders, public school parents, and childcare providers) backed candidates in competitive congressional races, as well as sheriff and prosecutor races. Yet, challenges like lower voter turnout and restrictive voting policies persist, underscoring the need for continued grassroots organizing.

In 2024, we will work to expand the electorate and close the racial and age gap amongst registered voters in Ohio. We plan to register 145,000 voters in Black communities and 35,000 young voters on college campuses, and mobilize them and more by knocking on 1,000,000 doors to reach 250,000 voters.

Formed in 2007, the Ohio Organizing Collaborative (OOC) is a grassroots organization uniting community groups, student associations, and faith organizations with policy institutes and labor unions across Ohio. It is our mission to organize membership bases of everyday Ohioans for racial, social, and economic justice in our state.
