Fuerte Arts Movement (c4)
2024 Programs
Fuerte engages those who are labeled ‘unlikely’ voters: working class voters of color and young voters. Fuerte will build a housing justice voter bloc in low turnout base districts and competitive districts. We will do this through layered digital, text, and door touches, voter education, and GOTV.
Mission
At Fuerte, we move people to collective action for voting rights, housing justice, environmental justice, and other issues through art and culture. We are an artist-led multi-issue civic-engagement community organization centering Arizona women of color and LGBTQ perspectives in our Art and Artists.
