OUR WORK:

Together,
Let’s Be The Ones

Systemic inequities across race, gender, generation and geography, have left millions excluded from participation in economic, social, cultural and political systems that shape their lives and communities

Information and participation are the foundation of our democracy. When we listen, meet people where they are and provide information that’s easy to understand, engaging, and relatable, they become actively invested in the future of their communities.

HOW WE DO IT:

In coalition with community-based partners, we co-create opportunities that:

  • Increase civic understanding

  • Motivate engagement

  • Create a culture of accessible, inclusive, sustainable and joyful participation

Our programs help you understand who decision makers are and provide tools to engage them. We host events to connect the dots between issues and systems shaping communities; uplift the stories of those most impacted. We democratize civic information through our digital hub and free education materials.  We’re building the next generation of leaders.

OUR INITIATIVES:
