Priority Issues: Climate, racial and economic justice. Of the four initiatives headed to the November ballot, two would significantly impact climate progress, and make it near impossible to pass future climate legislation – particularly legislation geared towards making polluters pay. I-2117 would repeal the Climate Commitment Act, gutting critical funding for clean air, water, forests and farmland, jobs and transportation. I-2066, Backed by the Building Industry Association of Washington, the Washington Hospitality Association, and Let’s Go Washington (Brian Heywood's outfit), would prevent the phase out of fossil fuels in Washington. , , I-2109 would repeal the Capital Gains Tax, which would take away more than $5 billion from schools, childcare, and early learning programs. And I-2124 would effectively bankrupt the Washington Long-term Care Insurance Program. , , These are important to note because when we talk about climate justice, in addition to bringing down climate pollution, we are also talking about reducing rampant inequality and ensuring that people’s basic needs are met — both I-2109 and I-2124 would gut critical funding that supports the wellbeing of our communities in Washington. , , Our core focus when engaging voters will be to highlight the devastating impacts of these misleading initiatives that in effect allow the fossil fuel industry and utilities to keep polluting; destroying our climate, hurting future generations, and undoing years of climate progress. If they pass, our communities, especially marginalized and frontline communities, will have to pay the price of a climate crisis while the fossil fuel industry continues to rake in billions of dollars each year.

We will turn out climate voters in both Cobb and Gwinnett counties to secure victories in referendums that would result in $28 billion of investments in enhanced mobility and transit expansions.
GCV’s mission is to advocate for public policies that advance a more just and sustainable future, mobilize voters who prioritize climate and environmental justice, and hold elected officials accountable for their actions and votes.

Priority Issues: Our biggest goal and mission in our electoral work is to help the public elect more candidates who prioritize environmental justice. We do this by endorsing candidates for state and local offices who will champion our two foundational causes—a strong democracy and environmental justice., In pursuit of this mission, GCV is focused on mobilizing a base of community members that matches the demographics of Georgia, which will require an ongoing, intensive effort to engage younger voters (<40), voters of color, and women. , Our goal is to move an audience of environmentally aware people to become active environmental advocates. In other words, we want to see this audience of voters move from being concerned about climate change to becoming more vocally and physically supportive of candidates prioritizing climate and environmental action., Throughout the year, we work to meet these voters where they are and engage them around issues that are most likely to motivate them to vote. In Cobb and Gwinnett specifically, we plan to educate and mobilize working-class communities around access to transit through a comprehensive campaign, including events, door-knocking, phone banking, and digital and paid media. Expanding mass transit is vitally important to working-class communities, as mobility reduces barriers to resources, including employment, educational opportunities, health care, and child care. , Our approach to creative content development is also heavily influenced by this audience. Research points to two main reasons why people don’t vote, especially young people: 1) they don’t feel like their vote matters, and 2) they don’t know enough about the candidates. Another recent study revealed that young voters are tired of being told simply to “vote” and do not implicitly trust Democrats to take action on issues. Voters in every group want to hear what Democrats have already done to make progress on their top issues and what they will continue to do to earn their votes. This sentiment was influential in the young and Black groups, as these voters feel Democrats have come to implicitly rely on their vote without delivering for them. These voters also expressed their desire to see tangible, concrete action steps from elected officials, particularly on the issues of abortion, gun violence, and cost of living., Further, while these voters intend to vote this fall, they are more interested in voting in local elections and express a need to hear more information from candidates beyond just the democratic label before they will support them at the ballot box. The benefit of our program is that we will focus on house districts, explaining to voters why these races matter, what these elected officials can deliver on, and which candidates are better for the environment.
We are working hard to mobilize climate justice-informed voters, specifically younger voters and voters of color, by creating, promoting, and distributing "RENEW the Vote" ads that resonate with target demographics and integrate climate justice messaging via Billboards, Radio, and Digital ads. These ads share key electoral dates, early voter information, and other important voter deadlines.

Registering Georgia's Muslim community using deep canvassing, in-person outreach at cultural and mutual aid events and high-traffic areas, and digital tactics including text banking, social media, and relational organizing.
Georgia Muslim Voter Project (GAMVP) is a grassroots organization that builds civic power for Muslims in Georgia by amplifying their voices through nonpartisan voter registration, voter education, voter engagement, and policy advocacy. GAMVP aims to encourage civic participation, not just in Southern Muslim communities, but in all communities under attack and under resourced in the South, in order for us all to live and thrive with dignity.

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.
In 2024, Georgia Shift will expand outreach to historically black colleges, and disenfranchised communities of color, advocate for voting rights, train poll workers, expand civic education initiatives, mobilize young voters ages 18-35, and engage in issue-based panels and community listening tours statewide.
Georgia Shift gives marginalized young people a seat at the table of democracy through hands-on education, electoral action, and civic media programs.

GCC is building power to create social change in Ohio. We are training and organizing youth and adults to engage or re-engage residents in low-propensity voting neighborhoods from targeted neighborhoods in the City of Cleveland and its inner-ring suburbs to get in the habit of voting every election cycle.
Greater Cleveland Congregation’s (GCC) mission is to be a powerful force for change, creating justice and opportunity in Northeast Ohio. We unite people across lines of race, class, religion, and geography to take action to strengthen and improve the quality of life of our neighborhoods. As a non-partisan organization of 39 faith communities and partner organizations, we work together to build power for social justice.
Budget Size: Small: Previous year budget $20,000 - $1M
Priority Issues: GCC has been organizing around voting rights in Cuyahoga County (the second largest county in the state) since 2012. Cuyahoga County has been designated as one of the single most racially segregated regions in the country. This divide exacerbates other deep-rooted problems affecting Cleveland, including historic redlining and systemic voter suppression and repression. Our Battle for Democracy initiative combats these challenges and fights for non-partisan voter engagement by training youth and adults and organizing them to engage their friends, families, and neighbors in our electoral system., , Currently, the U.S. has among the lowest voter turnout rates of all wealthy democracies, with an electoral landscape intentionally structured to discourage full participation of socially vulnerable populations (low-income, communities of color, disabled, youth). This limits their agency and erodes the overall representative viability of our democratic process. This disenfranchisement is exacerbated by voting administrative policies that, intentionally or unintentionally, suppress or depress the participation of vulnerable citizens., , GCC grounds our work by listening deeply to the needs in our community. We learn from the experiences of people living in the neighborhoods where we also live and work, because they are the ones impacted most by the decisions, policies, and systems that we are working together to change. We strategize together about solutions and actions that could actually work in our current context. Then we activate and train everyday people how to unite, organize, and raise their voices for change. Our tested organizing model organizes people, activities, and partners to work toward the goals that we set together. The current priority issues we are focusing our voter engagement work on currently include increasing voter registration and turnout; collecting signatures to end gerrymandering in Ohio; and key local and state races that affect juvenile justice and improve health and wellness through levy renewals., , Our model mobilizes trusted institutions and voices in our communities to build sustained relationships that create hubs of engagement among previously disenfranchised communities. We call these people Neighborhood Captains, and we work together closely to carefully expand our network. Through this work, we have mobilized thousands of new voters every election to effect change locally (e.g., investing in local schools under fierce opposition and to lean into their power as engaged communities)., , Voters are often treated as consumers: presented with a voting menu every two or four years and then ignored between election cycles. Most Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) efforts fail to build lasting engagement in these communities because they focus on easy to mobilize voters already in the system; make little/no connection between local voting administrative policies and low or declining turnout; and do not invest in establishing systems that help communities solve intractable local issues year-round. , , The most sustainable and scalable way to overcome these barriers to healthy democracy is to transform electoral ecosystems in socially vulnerable communities away from transactional systems mired in distrust and barriers, into relational networks that build power and increase local civic engagement and agency. To do this work, we created the Battle for Democracy – a set of strategies that aim to not only minimize voter depression (after decades of neglect) and suppression by creating a network of engaged leaders ready to teach and be taught how we can collectively make an impact in our democracy. , , Battle for Democracy employs a robust strategy, backed by rigorous research conducted by Cal Poly and the Union of Concerned Scientists, to effectively engage hard-to-reach voters and inspire them to become advocates for voter participation. At the heart of our approach is the Neighborhood Captain Program, a proven model where each captain is entrusted with a list of 75 households with low-propensity voters to nurture over a decade. These voters receive a minimum of 5 personalized contacts per election cycle, resulting in a remarkable increase in voter turnout. There is considerable cost to each of these relational contacts, but the return on investment is strong., , In addition to the Neighborhood Captain model, we are also innovating with youth and Latino communities. Our Youth Army initiative, composed of individuals aged 10 to 22, engages voters particularly in subsidized senior buildings. We have seen this work foster intergenerational relationships and dismantle barriers to voting. We are also spearheading efforts to boost voter engagement in predominantly Puerto Rican neighborhoods. Through initiatives like Voting Fiestas, inspired by Puerto Rico's annual elections, we aim to cultivate leadership within the Spanish-speaking community by nurturing individuals to serve as captains., , With a focus on proven methodologies and innovative approaches, Battle for Democracy is driving meaningful change through relationship- and leadership-building that is amplifying the ideas and power of communities that have historically been underrepresented in the democratic process.

Budget Size: Small: Previous year budget $20,000 - $1M
Priority Issues: Ground Game uses local issue-based ballot measure campaigns to engage voters. Our most successful issues to date have been economic justice and marijuana reform. We've used marijuana "decriminalization" measures as a way to engage young voters and Black voters in eight cities to date. In Hidalgo County, our 2022 c4 campaigns focused on a "Living Wage" for city workers in two towns; in the November 2022 CD15 election, we emphasized that Michelle Vallejo supports economic justice / fair wages. In 2024, our McAllen ballot measure campaign is focusing on campaign finance reform (anti-corruption, pro-democracy).
We are providing on ramps for our community members to lead in the public arena. We offer leadership trainings such as GrassRoots School, a 2.5 day leadership training program. We also build campaigns around the issues that matter most of us in our communities - having a safe and affordable place to call home, protecting our family farms from the harms of agribusiness.
We are turning out the vote in celebration of our new Fair Districts. Starting in January 2025, we will have new paths to victory in our state legislature!

As our team conducts outreach, they work together to engage the community on specific issues including immigrant justice, health equity, tenant’s rights, youth empowerment, reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, environmental equity, and economic justice, while introducing them to the broader issue areas on which MRANV works. Along with our regular issues committee meetings, our general membership weekly ensures knowledge is shared across committees and identifies ways they can support one another. We also strive to develop leaders who can become experts on a particular issue, take on key roles in actions/events, and act as liaisons between committees. This allows our committees to avoid siloing and ensures our membership grows in numbers, strength, and membership. Because we are continually engaging our base, we are able to identify and prioritize needs as they arise and respond quickly to the needs of our base.

Priority Issues: We focus on issues of racial, economic, and gender justice (including, but not limited to, reproductive, immigrant, worker and climate justice). Here is more on our analysis of the current state of play:, , We’re living through a crisis on a scale that advanced capitalist countries haven’t faced since the Great Depression. We’re in a unique and troubling moment in US and world history. Four gathering crises—climate, economic, geopolitical, and migratory—are often discussed as discrete phenomena, when they are in fact deeply interconnected. By precipitating disaster on multiple fronts, the forces of organized capital limit our ability to marshall government in response to another, more fundamental, crisis—a crisis in democracy., , Meanwhile, white supremacist forces have been taking advantage of growing insecurity and ramping up their rhetoric of hate to harness fear for political gain. They have invested deeply in popular education and aggressive training. Turning Point USA, Proud Boys, and Blexit—they have developed infrastructure to recruit people into their ideological home. We got a taste of their power in another historic American tragedy during the January 6th insurrection at the US Capitol. Dog whistle appeals to bigotry continue to prevent natural alliances between working families of all races, religions, and backgrounds., , We must outperform the forces of greed and authoritarianism and build infrastructure to demand a multiracial democracy that matches and surpasses their formidable power., , Everyday life and stability for working women and families, and especially people of color in those categories, are more precarious today than they have been in generations. Student debt is sky-high, wages are suppressed as profits surge, the tax structure is an abject scam for the wealthy, pro-worker legal/political institutions face erosion, and healthcare is increasingly inaccessible and unaffordable—run for profit rather than for care. Intersecting crises overwhelm and divide people along lines of race, class, gender, and more. Working class, feminist, and racial justice movements are treated as unreasonable for seeking human rights that already commonly exist abroad. But when corporations face risk, the US government knows no limits propping up their owners. The pandemic and economic crisis have worsened these realities, leaving those most vulnerable with less. Getting through this moment is one thing. Building for resiliency beyond it is another. , , Resiliency will in part come from making immediate material changes in working people’s lives, but that alone isn’t enough. Each year, the rules and realities of our democratic institutions skew more and more toward representing land over people, older rural whites over people of color and young people in cities, and capital over constituent needs. We must strive toward the dream of a genuine multiracial democracy that reflects the desires and needs of our communities. And meeting those needs will mean expanding the limits of what’s currently considered possible—both in government and in the hearts and minds of the people who desperately need bold ideas and bolder action., , This isn’t something that can be achieved within the halls of power alone; the change will also be driven from the outside. That is why, now more than ever, investing in mass organizing at scale is crucial. It will take more than multi-organizational base building alone; it will take a leaderful movement with the tools and infrastructure to get things done while expanding its own representation and reach.

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.
