We are working in Oregon's 5th and 6th to motivate rural young voters. 50% of our people under 26 have never voted, and 25% have voted once. These voters need to know they can make a difference rather than letting their parents and grandparents make decisions for them.
The purposes of the Organization are to:
i. Educate rural voters on issues that matter most to them,
ii. Engage with voters to encourage voting participation,
iii. Hold legislators accountable for their actions,
iv. Embrace rational, civic-minded rural values by modeling inclusion, respect, and fairness in all of our actions
v. Empower forward-thinking candidates to run for and hold elected office in rural Oregon.

OneAmerica Votes builds immigrant voter power in Washington state.

OneAmerica advances the fundamental principles of democracy and justice at the local, state, and national levels by building power within immigrant communities in collaboration with key allies.
Budget Size: Micro: Previous year budget < $20,000
Priority Issues: Our canvassing script engages voters about OneAmerica Votes’ Our Thriving Platform and our vision for making WA State a place where all have what they need, regardless of economic and immigration status. We educate and urge voters to vote No on the group of conservative ballot initiatives, including one that would gut WA’s progressive climate laws; these initiatives would take billions of dollars from our state budget, making it harder to win on our platform. We then dig deeper to find which platform issues matter to them: a universal childcare system in WA state which is accessible, affordable, and quality for all families and pays thriving wages to the majority-immigrant women providers; multilingual education; and a state unemployment program for immigrant workers. , , OneAmerica Votes organizes year-round leveraging our BIPOC, immigrant and working-class base of directly-impacted community leaders to elect people like us who share our values, take that power to the legislature where we fight for our issue campaigns, and work with our base to build power in legislative districts to hold accountable elected leaders at the local, state and federal levels to being immigrant rights champions.

Priority Issues: Our voter engagement efforts are strategically anchored in the issues that resonate most profoundly with young people and shape their civic identities. Recognizing that young people prioritize substantive policy over party affiliation, we structure our organizing work around pillars of climate justice, equitable revenue streams, education equity, safeguarding democratic access, renters’ rights, and housing affordability., By framing our messaging and programming through these urgently relevant issues, we forge authentic connections that transcend transactional politics. Our grassroots leaders undergo rigorous training to facilitate nuanced dialogue exploring how climate change, economic injustice, barriers to quality education, housing instability, and rental exploitation disproportionately impact racialized communities. This holistic issue-driven approach positions us to engage young voters' deeply held values and policy priorities and bridges those to democratic participation via voting. By equipping our base with nonpartisan resources illuminating how democratic participation leads to better living conditions, we are creating habitual voting patterns for life.

Priority Issues: As we passionately engage with young individuals throughout Washington in our voter registration efforts, we are also collecting Voter Comment Cards and igniting conversations that bridge the gap between issues and voting. We know that young people are issue-voters first, which is why our approach begins by asking them a simple yet profound question: "What issues matter most to you?" In just 30 seconds, they have the opportunity to make their voices heard on these comment cards and subsequently we are able to either update or register them to vote. The issues we uncover during these conversations encompass a wide spectrum of critical topics, including: Democracy Access: Ensuring equitable access to our democratic processes. Progressive Revenue: Our tax code is the most regressive in the United States and it lets the people with the most money get away with paying the least. This is not sustainable or fair. By fixing our upside tax code and putting money into the hands of everyday people, we are building an economy that allows all of us to achieve our goals and dreams. Climate Action, Gun Control, Tenants Rights, and Housing Affordability: Our young people deserve a world that has clean air and water, housing for all, and workers rights. We are building a world where youth are able to thrive. Democracy Protection: Our democracy works best when everyone regardless of their age, income level, or race has their voice heard and their vote counted. However, there are still barriers for young people to realize their full political power. We are building voting systems that work for all of us. Education Equity and Cost-Free College: Every person, regardless of race, income, or immigration status deserves a high quality education. However, right now most students’ basic needs are not being met and higher education is inaccessible. By investing in our education systems we are investing in all students by ensuring needed housing, food, materials, counseling services to achieve their educational aspirations. By actively listening to the concerns and passions of young voters, we're not only building a stronger, more inclusive democracy but also fostering a sense of agency and leadership within our youth constituents. Together, we're shaping a future that reflects the issues that matter most to those who will inherit it and it all begins with registering our peers to vote.
