Our Mission

We are a non-partisan organization dedicated to safeguarding the future of our democracy through innovative efforts focused on voting rights and civic engagement.

02

Our Vision

We envision a civic ecosystem where all people can easily and freely participate in our democracy and where this participation is actively supported and valued by our local communities, institutions and government.

03

Values

  • Supporting disenfranchised, underrepresented, and marginalized communities
  • Championing the use of technology
  • Utilizing imaginative techniques and cultivating new ideas for a constantly changing landscape

04

Approaches

  • For nearly two decades, we have been using advocacy, litigation, organizing, education, and technology to protect and expand the right to vote, understanding the particular impact on disenfranchised, underrepresented, and marginalized communities.
  • We empower students, our next generation of voters, to participate in our democracy.
  • We anticipate and counteract threats to free and fair elections.
  • We bring a national breadth of knowledge and activities down to our state level programs- while committing to the communities we serve every year, every semester, every vote.
