The VOTE Project is working with 11 community based
organizations in five
states in the Center's region. These groups represent a range of
organizing style, constituency and focus but all are commited to using
VOTE as a means of strengthening their own organizational capacity,
leadership development, and increasing participation in the electoral
process.
Most of the organizations in VOTE are working with communities that have
traditionally lower voter participation rates, such as low-income
communities, people of color, new citizens, women, and young people. Many
of these organizations also have their own websites with tools and
resources they are willing to share. Meet the groups of VOTE and share
your ideas with us:

I am amazed and humbled at what the Korean American
Voters Alliance has been able to accomplish: dozens helped in becoming
citizens, thousands mobilized for annual conventions, Korean language
voter guides produced and mailed for three counties, and, new this
year, get-out-the-vote calls to all their members. And all this on
volunteer steam!
