In 2025, 2026, and beyond, we are focused on voter engagement and policy advocacy through candidate pipeline development (People’s Bench), large-scale field operations, and base-building. In 2025, we are supporting municipal elections in Durham and Greensboro, running issue campaigns on local budget fights, and expanding voter outreach. By 2026, we aim to knock 1 million doors for the U.S. Senate and State Supreme Court races while strengthening alignment with movement groups and labor unions.

To build political power in our state will require organizing efforts of the scale of the Civil Rights era. In 2024, we plan to knock on 750,000 doors (5 times more than in 2022), which will be the largest voter engagement project since the Obama campaign of 2012.

The Carolina Federation exists to build a new political majority, rooted in a culture of belonging, strong enough to win elections and govern. In this moment of challenge to democracy and justice in North Carolina, we are deepening an organizing model that develops power among the multi-racial working class, rooted in Black working class neighborhoods. Our approach to building power is defined by our relentless commitment to bringing new people into action, our deep investment in grassroots leadership and our integration of culture and solidarity building with base building, issue campaigns and electoral fights. We strongly believe that our approach will forge a new political and economic agenda for North Carolina and create a fundamental, lasting, systemic shift in the policies and rules that govern our state.
