America Votes
About
America Votes serves
as the central coordination hub of the progressive community both nationally
and in 20 states across the country. Working with over 400 state and national
partner organizations, as well as a robust range of data and targeting tools,
America Votes leads collaborative efforts to advance progressive policies,
expand access to the ballot, coordinate issue advocacy and election campaigns,
and protect every American's right to vote.
America Votes has built a permanent advocacy and campaign
infrastructure that provides data and targeting services to progressive
organizations; pursues electoral reforms that expand voting rights across the
country; and advances progressive policies through state and local ballot
initiatives.
Since our founding in 2003, America Votes has been dedicated
to the proposition that advancing progressive change requires a broad view of
the issue landscape, focus on what unites progressives, and commitment to
collaboration and coordination to achieve common goals.
We've worked hard to build trust and consensus among our
coalition partners while developing and providing the full toolbox progressives
need to advance our collective causes. Because of America Votes' work over the
past decade, the progressive community has moved from working separately -
duplicating efforts and wasting resources - to basic coordination, and now a
deeper collaboration.
