The CaPAConnector is an interactive platform that profiles hundreds of community-rooted organizations that are engaging voters and advocating for climate, social, racial and/or economic justice. For donors who seek to deploy funds strategically in targeted geographies, with high-impact yet low-profile community organizations, the CaPAConnector dynamic database offers a powerful tool of discovery. This database is constantly updated and can be filtered by geography, constituencies, engagement actions, and other criteria.

CaPA States Covered: GA
Geographic Focus: Rural, Suburban / Ex-urban, Urban - Small city (<100k), Urban - Large city (>100k)
Core Constituencies: Black, Women, Youth and Students (aged 17-35)
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.
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.

Lead Contact: Shafina KhabaniExecutive Directorinfo@gamvp.org
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.
