We engage, educate, and motivate new and infrequent voters, including young people, communities of color, and poor and working-class neighborhoods to ensure who votes in California reflects who lives in California. Through our bottom-up approach, we organize people most impacted by decades of disinvestment, deteriorating public services, mass incarceration, and growing inequality to support systemic, progressive policy solutions. With headquarters in Los Angeles, remote staff across California, and partner organizations anchored in 14 counties, we advance state-based structural battles that strengthen democracy, fully fund schools, affordable housing, and local services, and expand racial, gender, and economic justice. We strengthen the capacity and build collaborations with organizations across the state to build a strong movement capable of winning structural change.
