NCRP’s Voter Registration Brief
There’s no one better equipped for transformational investment than a community-based issues organizing group with established relationships in and knowledge of its own communities.
Groups like these are uniquely qualified to reach and mobilize voters who are underrepresented in the electorate.
They are equally – if not more – important to the civic engagement ecosystem as groups that are only focused on voter registration.
Pride is a Protest
At its core, pride is a protest against the criminalization of our identities.
It is a refusal to be confined to the shadows, to be denied our humanity, and to be stripped of our rights.
In countries where being LGBTQ+ is still illegal, pride takes on an even greater significance, serving as a beacon of hope for those living under the shadow of persecution.
Fund Organizing Like Our Democracy Depends on It…Because It Does
All elections shape the nature of the communities we live in, and there has been an immense amount of work that went into ensuring that the will of the people was heard. Yet after the votes are counted, there is still the need for organizers after every election to continue engaging their communities.
This kind of sustained effort is key – to holding elected officials accountable, passing progressive legislation, and continuing to leverage people power in the struggle for collective liberation.
