Through our voter registration, education, and get-out-the-vote work, we dramatically increase voter turnout in low-income communities.

In order to fully empower new voters in our organizing areas, we participate in partisan election campaigns and give our activists the opportunity to endorse and work for candidates who really represent their views.

To hold elected officials accountable to the needs of struggling working families, we organize mass call-ins, letter-writing campaigns, delegation visits with legislators and public accountability sessions on our priority issues each year.

For low-income people to influence elected officials and have an impact on public policy, we believe it's essential to unite them in local and statewide coalitions with unions, social service agencies and community groups.

The only way to build sustainable grassroots power in low-income areas is by developing strong local leaders. Through our organizing, we recruit volunteers and give them the skills they need to be activists in their community.
