Priority issues may include climate, abortion, public education, gun safety, and high-quality job opportunities., , We also help voters forge a broader connection between participating in state legislative races and legislation related to the issues they care about most. Because of downballot roll-off, there are lower levels of participation in state legislative elections, and our outreach incorporates evidence-backed messages to increase turnout, such as the potential impact of winning a seat and the small number of votes needed to determine the outcome of an entire race.
Founded in 2001, the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project (SWEEP) is a public interest nonprofit dedicated to achieving a healthy, equitable, and low carbon future by advancing clean energy, energy efficiency, electrification, and clean transportation solutions in the southwestern United States.

SWEEP has helped pass more than 150 state laws across the Southwest.
SWEEP will work to advance a clean and equitable energy future in 2025 through three programs: 1) Utilities: Working to get utilities to invest in renewable energy resources, energy efficiency programs, and demand response efforts to reduce energy waste, utility bills, and emissions; 2) Buildings: Ensuring that homes and commercial buildings are constructed or retrofitted to be energy efficient and heated and cooled with clean electricity; and 3) Transportation: electrifying the transportation sector; promoting multimodal alternatives like transit, biking, and walking; and advocating for smart land use and affordable infill housing to reduce travel costs, demand, and emissions.

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.

Budget Size: Medium: Previous year budget $1M - $3M
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.

As the future of Nevada, we shall pursue these ideals through support and growth of the Democratic Party, its candidates and the promotion of active engagement of the youth of the State of Nevada.
Budget Size: Micro: Previous year budget < $20,000
Priority Issues: As a charter of the Young Democrats of America, our primary focus in voter registration is to gather registrations from individuals aged 17 to 35, particularly on high school and college campuses. We emphasize not including any issues when encouraging individuals to register. Some school campuses, specifically high schools, may be more reserved in permitting partisan organizations to conduct voter registration drives. Therefore, we strive to ensure we are allowed on all campuses.
