Program Service Accomplishments

Program 1

Expenses: $346,753

The organization registered and mobilized under-represented voters in Texas, Virginia, and Colorado for the November 2021 elections. All programs were rigorously evaluated so that we can learn what works and what doesn't in the future. We also encouraged voters in Ohio and Pennsylvania to select candidates who would promote more civically-minded policies.
