Organizations | Clean and Prosperous America

Citizens' Climate Education and Citizens' Climate work together to advance climate action in the U.S. Congress. We train and empower our grassroots network of 360 active chapter and 62 national action teams to build political will through local organizing, media engagement, and direct lobbying. During election years, we mobilize volunteers to engage candidates on climate change and boost voter turnout.

In 2025, Citizens' Climate Education is focused on training our grassroots network to defend hard-won climate victories in the U.S. Congress, such as the clean energy tax credits passed in the Inflation Reduction Act. We are also taking advantage of opportunities to make forward progress in the current political climate. These opportunities include climate-smart forestry, clean energy deployment, and building electrification.

Organizing Empowerment Fund (c3)

Update this information

Empower Project is a communications, organizing, and technology non-profit that is a leader in relational organizing - leveraging the power of trusted messengers by having community members build lists of friends and family to communicate and influence behavior, promote informed decision-making, and increase meaningful civic engagement. We recruit and manage the trusted messengers, build the technology, coordinate with partner organizations, organize trainings, and direct the strategy that allows this sophisticated approach to communications to happen.

Relational organizing and trusted messengers are the keys to meeting the moment and building a larger, better-informed, and more engaged universe of voters. In 2025, we will use our unique ability to communicate with challenging communities of voters and our existing network of 3 million people, launching a year-round relational organizing program to maintain engagement, build trust, and drive action leading up to the next election.

Organizing Empowerment Fund is offering training and technology support for organizations that are using relational organizing, especially in underrepresented communities like communities of color, youth, immigrants, and rural areas.

You Can Vote (c3)

Update this information

YCV staff and volunteers reach voters in the communities where they live and work across the state of NC through high traffic canvassing, clipboarding, tabling at events, group and classroom presentations in high schools and on college campuses, relational organizing, GOTV calls and text messaging, and 1-1 conversations with voters.

You Can Vote (YCV) was founded following Shelby County v. Holder, 133 S. Ct. 2612, the Supreme Court decision rolling back key protections of the Voting Rights Act. Our mission is to train and mobilize volunteers to educate, register, and empower all North Carolina citizens to successfully cast their ballot. Our programs combat discriminatory election laws by building a broader and more engaged electorate across the state of NC. YCV serves populations whose votes have been historically suppressed including people of color, low-income people, people who are currently and formerly incarcerated, people with disabilities, and young people.
