Over four million people don't vote where they live. An enlistee in the Navy from North Carolina can vote--from San Diego. An NC A&T student in Brazil this semester can vote too. But they probably won't--unless someone asks them. Building Bridges for America is going to ask.
Building Bridges for America mobilizes and empowers networks of relational grassroots organizers to create an equitable and informed electorate.

Aligned with our core value of climate and racial justice, HDC steps up to advocate within affordable housing buildings for ballot initiatives which further these aims. In 2024, HDC rallied the sector to oppose the harmful rollbacks of state climate policies (No on I-2117 & I-2066). HDC will continue to be outspoken, public-facing advocates for climate justice policies through town halls, press conferences, voter education, and flyering affordable housing residents.
The Housing Development Consortium of Seattle-King County (HDC) is the nonprofit membership association for the affordable housing operating, development, and service sector in King County. As a membership association, HDC is uniquely positioned to bring together nonprofit, government, business, and community around a shared vision, and our member-driven programs focus on the intersection of housing, environmental sustainability, equity, health, and education. The urgency of the affordable housing crisis is entangled with a growing climate crisis and the disturbing reality of persisting institutional and structural racism. The work of HDC and our members is squarely in the nexus of these three crises. Approaches that treat each issue in isolation are no longer enough, as these facets are fundamentally interdependent.
King County is experiencing explosive growth and unprecedented inequity in access to housing. We face an affordable housing shortfall of 156,000 homes today and a projected deficit of 244,000 homes by 2040. Closing that gap requires an additional 44,000 affordable homes every five years, and capital dollars currently available to King County’s affordable housing developers are nowhere near what is needed. Enveloping all of this is the climate crisis. In recognition of the issue’s urgency and the effects of the built environment, which generates nearly 50% of annual global CO2 emissions, Washington State’s Energy Code includes bold mandates for reducing net energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by 2031. We also know that we must eliminate all CO2 emissions from the built environment by 2040 to meet 1.5°C climate targets.
Our climate work is driven by a bold vision for climate justice: to transform the affordable housing market by decarbonizing buildings. We know that affordable housing residents, as low-income and disproportionately BIPOC renters, bear the first and heaviest impacts. Through cross-sectoral coalitions, policy-making, pilot projects, and funding, we can secure a more just future.

Poder Latinx is strategically positioned to empower the Latinx community, fostering a resilient progressive voting bloc through our Integrated Voter Engagement (IVE) framework. This model is grounded in six pillars: recruiting community members, fostering professional and leadership growth, executing comprehensive voter engagement throughout the electoral cycle, refining Latinx voter databases, achieving issue-based victories, and pioneering narrative and cultural shifts.

Now is the time to seize upon suburban women’s visceral opposition to Republican attacks on their freedom, their children, and democracy. RWB is doing just that through our year-round relational organizing program. We build community and tap the networks of women in our community to reach voters we need to win.
Red Wine & Blue has built hyper-local organizing infrastructure and culturally-relevant communications that engages diverse suburban women where they are, supports them to represent their views, and doesn't go away. We seize moments of opportunity to achieve policy wins, but most importantly, we are building a community that ensures suburban women become a permanent fixture in the movement for a multiracial democracy. RWB has grown into a community of nearly half a million women by providing a welcoming pathway to political engagement for women of all political backgrounds – including many who have never been political before.

Priority Issues: As soon as the Dobbs decision leaked, thousands of women in the RWB community began sharing deeply personal abortion stories – many for the first time. Every story was different, but all of them unifying diverse suburban women around the visceral belief that every woman’s reproductive decisions must be her own., , And then came then came the IVF news out of Alabama that has our members reeling so we launched the engagement campaign "Save IVF and Birth Control". , , This followed the same pattern we saw beginning in the Spring of 2021 when RWB members began reporting disruptions at school board meetings - often from parents without kids in their districts. Suburban moms flocked to our trainings to unify in support of their kids, teachers, and public education. , , , There’s no question that suburban women want reproductive freedom and inclusive, high quality public schools. But because of an organizing gap, they are often drowned out by a small, loud, well-funded extremist minority. RWB fills that gap - we organize around suburban women’s visceral opposition to attacks on their freedom, their children, and democracy.
