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 advance our vision for Virginia rooted in justice, democracy, and progress that will uplift and empower working class communities of color.
Our multi-year voter engagement program continues, with a goal of expanding the electorate to better reflect Virginia’s rich diversity. An outreach plan with a goal of increased turnout among working class people of color will require robust direct voter contact through canvassing, phone, mail and social media strategies.

This funding supported a small board of community organizers to begin making steps towards an established and recognized organization.
