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.

Up until the election, we will follow up with registered voters to ensure that they are informed and prepared to vote.
MOVE Texas is a grassroots, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to building the power of young people in underrepresented communities through civic engagement, leadership development, and issue education. Young Texans possess the appetite and the energy to make their voices heard in the decisions and processes that impact their lives and communities, positioning them to make waves in Texas and beyond. We invest in and engage young people to become agents of change who harness their power to engage their peers in the democratic process to champion progressive values. Through intentional coaching and support, we empower young people to build a responsive, accountable, and equitable democracy.
With newly elected Gov. Josh Stein and a one vote veto-sustaining margin in the House, we will be working to support Governor's Stein's pro-climate, pro-environment efforts, and defend against legislative attacks on our environment, our democracy, and our communities.

Working to elect climate champion Josh Stein over climate denier Mark Robinson.

The North Carolina League of Conservation Voters (NCLCV) is a pragmatic, results-oriented, non-partisan organization whose mission is to protect the health and quality of life for all North Carolinians, with an intentional focus on systematically excluded communities of color. We elect environmental champions, advocate for environmental policies that protect our communities, and hold elected leaders accountable for their decisions. We create a political environment that will protect our natural environment.
NCLCVF programs, PowerUp, Power the Vote, and Power Boards & Commissions, operate at the intersection of environment, economics, racial and economic justice. 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.
NCLCVF believes that voting is the most important thing you can do for the environment, and has registered 120,000 voters since 2014. Our Power the Vote program prioritizes year-round civic engagement, registering and turning out voters in BIPOC communities/schools, engaging through relational organizing, and promoting our Forever Vote pledge.
NCLCV Foundation connects and engages people to protect our natural environment and promote the well-being of 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.
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.
Budget Size: Medium: Previous year budget $1M - $3M
Priority Issues: YCV occupies a unique position in the NC voting rights landscape as a strictly nonpartisan organization that focuses exclusively on voters. We are a campaign without a candidate and we do not take stances or advocate for specific issues aside from voting rights. YCV’s nonpartisan approach combined with the quality and consistency of voter services allows us to partner with and gain access to spaces that are not available to partisan organizations, such as schools and detention facilities. Our programs focus on voting mechanics & civic education: what's on the ballot, when to vote, where to vote, levels of government and connecting issues that matter to voters with the offices that influence them.
