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.

In person, by phone, and online we engage people in actions that protect public health, improve environmental quality, and benefit consumers. Our campaigns connect Ohioans and build a movement to protect democracy and create a sustainable and equitable future.
In 2023 we helped win two ballot initiative campaigns (keeping a simple majority to pass citizen led ballot initiatives and enshrining reproductive rights in our constitution), and helped elect a progressive mayor in Akron. In 2024 we knocked 366,894 doors for Sherrod Brown.
* Opposing SB 63 (ban on ranked choice voting) and SB 153 (Ohio's SAVE act, which attacks voter rights and adds to the burden to get citizen-led initiatives on the ballot).
* Using our deep canvassing/persuasion training to reach voters who pledged to vote in 2024 after we talked to them at the door, but then didn't. We want to listen and learn in these "front porch focus groups" why people didn't vote, then rework the data they give us to persuade others like them to vote in 2025 and 2026.
*Promote repeal of consumer coal plant bailout.
Advocate for local and statewide democracy, energy and consumer issues. We project knocking 709,700 doors statewide and making 259,000 phone calls, plus digital tactics, including voter videos.

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.
