UFR will expand our organizing power to push back against harmful policies impacting workers. Our Georgia worker organizing and civic participation program has had wins to improve workplace conditions, including securing clean water, working restrooms, and wage increases. This will serve as a model we’ll scale nationally and across targeted geographies (Michigan, California) to build a multiracial base of working class voters who are shifting the narrative around their grueling working conditions, and impacting elections.
UFR's civic engagement program integrates online/offline organizing to boost voter turnout from a low-wage, majority women and BIPOC voting bloc of 2 million people across urban, rural, and suburban geographies. We move our base through deep relationship building into action, and leverage persuasion messaging to turn out low-propensity voters.

Priority Issues: United for Respect (UFR), a national grassroots organization, is building a movement rooted in the innovation, power, and leadership of working people in retail, particularly women and BlPOC people. Spread across urban, rural, and suburban areas, retail workplaces employ 16 million people. Organizing and activating this multiracial, multi-generational workforce is critical to transforming workplaces, our economy, and democracy as our communities face increased polarization, the impact of a devastating global health pandemic, and economic recession. , , , UFR is uniquely positioned to reach, agitate, and mobilize this critical low wage worker base of dropoff voters, moving them to take action in their workplace to fight for better wages, access to healthcare and paid leave, safe and healthy working conditions, and ultimately a voice in workplace solutions and their communities. This key constituency’s fight for workplace democracy is the first step to a pathway in civic engagement and participation where they become trusted messengers and influencers among their peers, local communities, and elected officials. Their personal stories and testimony shape the narrative around public policy and legislation, delineating the bright line for politicians to choose between big corporations driving economic and democratic inequalities or working people. Combined, people working in retail low-wage jobs could transform our democracy by using the power of their 16,000,000 voices to decide elections in their local communities, statewide, and across the country. Our education and persuasion work focuses our RESPECT agenda that includes family sustaining wages, safe workplaces, and communities where working families can thrive. Our RESPECT agenda includes: , , , - Right to Organize, including expanding workers' rights to organize in their workplace, fight back against obstacles to organizing, especially retaliation in the workplace. , - Essential worker voice in decisions that impact their lives that increases worker power in the workplace and the ability to hold employers accountable., - Safe workplaces and communities, and more protection for worker people from injury and violence in the workplace., - Pay living wages, severance pay, and good work hours that improve economic security for workers through increased and reliable pay when working and after layoffs., - End invasive surveillance and harmful tech/automation that disrupt the trend of technological monitoring in the workplace and of our bodies. , - Comprehensive health benefits and paid family & medical leave. , - Tougher rules to protect workers from corporate greed that increase regulation to prevent corporations from exploiting financial rules that allow them to pursue profits at the expense of working people.

By centering rural and small-town voices, we fight for economic justice, racial equity, and policies that actually support everyday people.

In 2025, we're focused on deepening our base, expanding our reach, and strengthening our foundation. Through the Year of the Member Project, we're investing in our people - developing leaders, building ownership, and making sure members drive our work. The Beyond the Choir Project will bring in new voices, connecting with those who share our values but haven't engaged yet. And to sustain it all, we're strengthening our internal systems - ensuring financial stability, better development tracking, and real accountability. With clear goals, strong support, and the right systems in place, we're building lasting power for working-class communities across North Carolina.

Priority Issues: YCV occupies a unique position in the NC voting rights landscape as a strictly nonpartisan organization that focuses exclusively on voters. We are a campaign without a candidate and we do not take stances or advocate for specific issues aside from voting rights. YCV’s nonpartisan approach combined with the quality and consistency of voter services allows us to partner with and gain access to spaces that are not available to partisan organizations, such as schools and detention facilities. Our programs focus on voting mechanics & civic education: what's on the ballot, when to vote, where to vote, levels of government and connecting issues that matter to voters with the offices that influence them.
