Over four million people don't vote where they live. An enlistee in the Navy from North Carolina can vote--from San Diego. An NC A&T student in Brazil this semester can vote too. But they probably won't--unless someone asks them. Building Bridges for America is going to ask.
Building Bridges for America mobilizes and empowers networks of relational grassroots organizers to create an equitable and informed electorate.
