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.

Priority Issues: The Muslim communities of Georgia are diverse and multifaceted; as such, they are impacted by a variety of issues. Through our Community Conversation program surveys (which are conducted at mosques around the state), we have found that the top issues most important to our communities include access to quality/affordable healthcare, quality/affordable education, gun control, and the economy. Other notable issues include immigration, climate change, and religious freedom. GAMVP believes in deep canvassing, so when our Field Organizers are out in the field registering new voter and talking to community members, they take their time to listen to community members needs and concerns and tailor their conversations to each individual community member and to whatever issues are most important to them. Our Field Organizers have been trained to have these conversations in a thoughtful and insightful manner. With the recent rise in Islamaphobia, our communities are also concerned about the targeting of our communities and safety. We often talk about this and note the importance of using our voices through our votes to make sure our interests are taken into account by our elected officials. Building civic power helps fight the hate our community experiences, and we uplift this in all our conversations.

Aligned with our core value of climate and racial justice, HDC steps up to advocate within affordable housing buildings for ballot initiatives which further these aims. In 2024, HDC rallied the sector to oppose the harmful rollbacks of state climate policies (No on I-2117 & I-2066). HDC will continue to be outspoken, public-facing advocates for climate justice policies through town halls, press conferences, voter education, and flyering affordable housing residents.
The Housing Development Consortium of Seattle-King County (HDC) is the nonprofit membership association for the affordable housing operating, development, and service sector in King County. As a membership association, HDC is uniquely positioned to bring together nonprofit, government, business, and community around a shared vision, and our member-driven programs focus on the intersection of housing, environmental sustainability, equity, health, and education. The urgency of the affordable housing crisis is entangled with a growing climate crisis and the disturbing reality of persisting institutional and structural racism. The work of HDC and our members is squarely in the nexus of these three crises. Approaches that treat each issue in isolation are no longer enough, as these facets are fundamentally interdependent.
King County is experiencing explosive growth and unprecedented inequity in access to housing. We face an affordable housing shortfall of 156,000 homes today and a projected deficit of 244,000 homes by 2040. Closing that gap requires an additional 44,000 affordable homes every five years, and capital dollars currently available to King County’s affordable housing developers are nowhere near what is needed. Enveloping all of this is the climate crisis. In recognition of the issue’s urgency and the effects of the built environment, which generates nearly 50% of annual global CO2 emissions, Washington State’s Energy Code includes bold mandates for reducing net energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by 2031. We also know that we must eliminate all CO2 emissions from the built environment by 2040 to meet 1.5°C climate targets.
Our climate work is driven by a bold vision for climate justice: to transform the affordable housing market by decarbonizing buildings. We know that affordable housing residents, as low-income and disproportionately BIPOC renters, bear the first and heaviest impacts. Through cross-sectoral coalitions, policy-making, pilot projects, and funding, we can secure a more just future.

Priority Issues: In our voter registration efforts, our primary focus revolves around the needs and concerns of the immigrant community. We address the specific challenges and circumstances faced by immigrants, working to engage them in the voting process. As studies continue to show, there remains an ongoing underrepresentation of women, Black, Indigenous, people of color, and New American/naturalized immigrants in both electoral processes and decision-making institutions. To address this civic engagement and representation gap, the NYIC launched its voter engagement program to reimagine civic engagement through lenses of long term capacity building. The program provides community-based organizations with funding, training, technical support, and strategic partnership to effectively engage, educate, and activate immigrant and historically disenfranchised women and families in civic matters. By leveraging established voter and civic engagement tactics, we adopt a holistic approach to reshape the electorate and political influence. While maintaining an essential role in community engagement, we recognize the importance of addressing specific issues and obstacles inherent in working with our communities. Language Barriers For non-english speaking voters, it is essential to ensure ballot and voter registration materials are translated accurately and reflect the true intended meaning of the text. The NYIC and its partners are committed to delivering in-language livestreams, digital toolkits, and virtual workshops to assist with absentee ballot applications, communicating these crucial changes in at least seven different languages. Aligning with our City and State priorities, we actively support legislation aimed at expanding language access, particularly at the polls. The NYIC sits on the New York City Civic Engagement Commission’s Language Access and Participatory Budgeting Advisory Board and our Executive Director is a Commissioner of the Civic Engagement Commission. Unfamiliarity or Distrust in the Process The voting process can often appear complex and corrupt to immigrant voters due to unfamiliarity or distrust in the systems that have often not supported their interests or needs. It is essential that our efforts focus on empowering communities through education and fostering trust with our partner organizations who are working on the ground with our communities. The NYIC leverages its extensive statewide network to build a foundation of trusted messengers to bring immigrants and communities of color into the electoral process. Our partnerships enable a coordinated effort, amplification of messaging, and opportunities for capacity building within the vital network of immigrant-serving organizations across the state. By partnering closely with our base of members, which include grassroots and nonprofit community organizations, religious and academic institutions, labor unions, and legal and socioeconomic justice organizations, the NYIC integrates extensive people power and diverse grassroots connections into our National Voter Registration Day programs.

This year we’ll be focusing on an attack on our state’s Capital Gains Tax and Climate Commitment Act (CCA). The Capital Gains Tax taxes the wealthiest 1% and provides almost a billion dollars for schools, early education, and communities. The CCA is a carbon tax that reduces greenhouse gas emissions while putting money back into communities experiencing impacts of climate change. We’ll be connecting these issues to our platform issues of better schools, good green jobs, a fairer tax system, and the protection of our environment.
Focus on registering young people, underserved communities, GOTV of registered Democrats and Unaffiliated leaning left. We campaign in support of quality public education and pay for teachers, restoring and safe-guarding our rights, fair voting, and transparency in government.

Priority Issues: In our voter registration efforts, our primary focus revolves around the needs and concerns of the immigrant community. We address the specific challenges and circumstances faced by immigrants, working to engage them in the voting process. As studies continue to show, there remains an ongoing underrepresentation of women, Black, Indigenous, people of color, and New American/naturalized immigrants in both electoral processes and decision-making institutions. To address this civic engagement and representation gap, the NYIC launched its voter engagement program to reimagine civic engagement through lenses of long term capacity building. The program provides community-based organizations with funding, training, technical support, and strategic partnership to effectively engage, educate, and activate immigrant and historically disenfranchised women and families in civic matters. By leveraging established voter and civic engagement tactics, we adopt a holistic approach to reshape the electorate and political influence. While maintaining an essential role in community engagement, we recognize the importance of addressing specific issues and obstacles inherent in working with our communities. Language Barriers For non-english speaking voters, it is essential to ensure ballot and voter registration materials are translated accurately and reflect the true intended meaning of the text. The NYIC and its partners are committed to delivering in-language livestreams, digital toolkits, and virtual workshops to assist with absentee ballot applications, communicating these crucial changes in at least seven different languages. Aligning with our City and State priorities, we actively support legislation aimed at expanding language access, particularly at the polls. The NYIC sits on the New York City Civic Engagement Commission’s Language Access and Participatory Budgeting Advisory Board and our Executive Director is a Commissioner of the Civic Engagement Commission. Unfamiliarity or Distrust in the Process The voting process can often appear complex and corrupt to immigrant voters due to unfamiliarity or distrust in the systems that have often not supported their interests or needs. It is essential that our efforts focus on empowering communities through education and fostering trust with our partner organizations who are working on the ground with our communities. The NYIC leverages its extensive statewide network to build a foundation of trusted messengers to bring immigrants and communities of color into the electoral process. Our partnerships enable a coordinated effort, amplification of messaging, and opportunities for capacity building within the vital network of immigrant-serving organizations across the state. By partnering closely with our base of members, which include grassroots and nonprofit community organizations, religious and academic institutions, labor unions, and legal and socioeconomic justice organizations, the NYIC integrates extensive people power and diverse grassroots connections into our National Voter Registration Day programs.
