The CaPAConnector 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 CaPAConnector 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.

Priority Issues: In our issue organizing, we engage people on the issues that most affect them and their communities, move people to take action, and ultimately politicize them to be an educated voter. These issues range from environmental and climate issues to economic and democracy issues, and currently include campaigns on:, , -electricity rate hikes and accountability of our public utilities, -access to community solar, -electing more clean-energy friendly leaders to rural electric cooperative boards, -cleaning up coal ash ponds in a coal mining town, -achieving reclamation and water replacement for ranchers affected by nearby coal-mining, -stopping a new carbon capture and sequestration project in rural Montana, -getting Inflation Reduction Act funds to Montana schools, communities, and farmers and ranchers,, -holding the Sibanye Stillwater Mining company accountable to surrounding communities, and more. , , Each of these campaigns has a base of leaders who are guiding the work, and ensuring the most affected communities are engaged., , Our electoral organizing tends to center “kitchen table” issues, with a central focus on economic well-being, which can include family agriculture, small business, energy bills, clean energy, rural healthcare, housing, and tax issues – often wrapped around a central frame of “homegrown prosperity.”,
