Non Partisan Voter Education and Outreach

Our goal as an organization is to make the voices of low and moderate income communities heard on the issues they care about. 

Voting plays a large role in our neighborhoods as it relates to accountability on issues our communities care about.  We are a non partisan organization that does not support any one party or politician.

Our role in voter education and outreach is to register the unregistered and educate new voters and existing voters on importance of voting and getting involved as it relates to the every issues that impact our neighborhoods.
