Our voter engagement campaign, The South’s Got Now | Decidimos, unites young people of color in Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia and Alabama as drivers of change who can shape the future of our country through their votes. By empowering young voters, we foster more inclusive and equitable spaces where everyone has a seat at the table, ultimately enriching the fabric of a multicultural, inclusive democracy.
Along with voter registration, we provide voter resources in each target state including upcoming election dates, community events and how to prepare for election day.
Launched in 2020, our Vote Your Voice program supports organizations that are using creative ways to increase civic participation in their communities. Our grantees work on a range of activities that go beyond year-round voter registration. They also educate their communities on important state and local policy issues; train and mobilize people to advocate for sensible policy solutions in front of lawmakers; and build leaders in the Deep South.
One of our current grantees, the Mississippi Black Women’s Roundtable, works to shift power through voter registration and policy advocacy. Its work to advance women’s economic security, increase voter participation and support Black women in leadership has earned the nonprofit a three-year Vote your Voice grant.
Your partnership is what gives us the lift to launch these important initiatives that give civic power to the communities we serve. Help us sustain these efforts by making a special gift today. Every dollar donated is an investment into our communities and the future they build. |
