Our 2025 focus is on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race and Virginia statewide and House of Delegate races. In Wisconsin we have sent 94,000 postcards. We will update the Early Voting List and do outreach for 10 swing districts. CFCG will reach out to Black voters while NWPC-VA will reach out to women voters all races. We offer monthly training on How to be an Effective Advocate on Federal and state legislation.
Our campaign aims to engage super voters, registered voters, and especially irregular or low propensity voters
Center for Common Ground works to educate and empower voters of color in voter suppression states. We work in voter suppression states where more than 20% of voters are voters of color – Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas. Our work includes community surveys to help communities find their voice, community canvassing, candidate forums, making phone calls and teaching advocacy. Collaborating with local partners, we strive to mobilize ALL voters of color, both those who consistently participate in elections and those who have yet to exercise their right to vote.
