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.

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.

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.

As a Virginia based organization we are laser focused on Virginia elections. We will be sending postcards, making phone calls, canvassing and texting.

We make it a priority to build civic participation programs that emphasize year-round engagement, leadership development, and a goal of shifting the balance of power to historically disenfranchised communities of color, often the first and worst impacted by environmental injustices, to enact equitable policies that protect the environment and our communities.

We turn environmental values into NC priorities by engaging people in the democratic process, organizing in communities to connect environmental policies to people’s daily lives, cultivating environmental leaders, and advocating for policies at the state and local level that protect the health and quality of life for all North Carolinians, with an intentional focus on systematically excluded communities of color.

Now is the time to seize upon suburban women’s visceral opposition to Republican attacks on their freedom, their children, and democracy. RWB is doing just that through our year-round relational organizing program. We build community and tap the networks of women in our community to reach voters we need to win.
Red Wine & Blue has built hyper-local organizing infrastructure and culturally-relevant communications that engages diverse suburban women where they are, supports them to represent their views, and doesn't go away. We seize moments of opportunity to achieve policy wins, but most importantly, we are building a community that ensures suburban women become a permanent fixture in the movement for a multiracial democracy. RWB has grown into a community of nearly half a million women by providing a welcoming pathway to political engagement for women of all political backgrounds – including many who have never been political before.
