Civic Nebraska creates a more modern and robust democracy for all Nebraskans. Our programs span Voting Rights work, Civic Health initiatives, and Youth Civic Leadership programming.
Priority Issues: Our primary focus is to engage with voters in face-to face conversations to discuss any questions they have about their voting process and to motivate them to cast their ballot in the upcoming election., , Polling has indicated that voters are more motivated by ballot initiatives and issues rather than candidates (BISC 2022 Post-Election Research & Analysis: https://1drv.ms/b/s!AmtCR8ilEnXXgc0pJds2K349IJYalA?e=wi2h3F).

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.

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.

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.
The Asian American and Pacific Islander population is the fastest growing demographic in Ohio. But we are under-represented. We have been mailing questionnaires to AAPI voters throughout Ohio, asking about their experiences as AAPI citizens in our state, top of mind issues, and if they plan to vote in 2024.
The AAPI Research Group and Engagement Team - Ohio (TARGETOHIO) believes in the collective power of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. AAPI Ohioans must be included as an integral part of our democracy—civically engaged, politically active, and voting in record numbers. TARGETOHIO will serve as the vehicle for delivering the AAPI political voice.

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.
