The CaPA Connector is an interactive platform that profiles hundreds of community-rooted organizations that are engaging voters and advocating for climate, social, racial and/or economic justice. For donors who seek to deploy funds strategically in targeted geographies, with high-impact yet low-profile community organizations, the CaPA Connector dynamic database offers a powerful tool of discovery. This database is constantly updated and can be filtered by geography, constituencies, engagement actions, and other criteria.

Disclaimers
While this database contains more than 500 entities, it is not a complete list of the thousands of organizations doing impactful work. Organizations are invited to fill out this Card Creation Form to be added to the CaPA Connector.
Most of the CaPA Connector data is self-reported by the organizations and CaPA has not completed a 3rd party assessment of accuracy.
CaPA evaluates where programs are fielded within a State by using congressional district boundaries. An org delivering engagement actions within the boundaries of a congressional district does not necessarily mean that group is engaging in a congressional district race.

We are working in Oregon's 5th and 6th to motivate rural young voters. 50% of our people under 26 have never voted, and 25% have voted once. These voters need to know they can make a difference rather than letting their parents and grandparents make decisions for them.
The purposes of the Organization are to:
i. Educate rural voters on issues that matter most to them,
ii. Engage with voters to encourage voting participation,
iii. Hold legislators accountable for their actions,
iv. Embrace rational, civic-minded rural values by modeling inclusion, respect, and fairness in all of our actions
v. Empower forward-thinking candidates to run for and hold elected office in rural Oregon.

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.
