Our Civic Participation and Political Power Program builds relationships and develops common interests among social justice, community, environmental, labor, and other public interest organizations to address vital public policy issues.

2008 VOTE

The CPPP Program provides training and strategic support to build communities’ capacity to fully participate in elections, legislative advocacy, and the public policy process.  Our election year work includes supporting ballot measure and issue-based campaigns.  The program also supports the development of permanent, multi-issue statewide coalitions that sustain civic engagement work from the ballot box to the legislature and beyond, and includes special initiatives such as the Voter Organizing Training and Empowerment (VOTE) Project.
