Movement Voter Project

Learn about and support organizations that strengthen democracy

There are thousands of organizations, big and small, all over the country, helping to protect the nation and the people who live here. Some file lawsuits, some help register voters, some raise money for candidates or help candidates run - there are all kinds of groups helping in all kinds of ways.

One way you can get involved is by donating money or volunteering your time with organizations that strengthen democracy.

I've added organizations I think are doing good things - but there are so many more. You can search the internet for local or national organizations working on the issues that matter most to you.

Movement Voter Project invests in local grassroots organizations across the country. They focus on year-round, long-term approaches rather than doing one big fundraising push at election time.

What they do

Movement Voter Project evaluates local grassroots organizing groups for effectiveness - then they funnel donations into the most effective organizations, helping build long-term relationships and promoting long-term voting patterns.

Why I support them

I am really impressed with their dedication to working with local organizations and their thoughtfulness in finding the groups that are most effective.

I think they're right about the importance of local groups who know the communities they're serving, and I strongly support their focus on year-round, long-term engagement.

Plus, someone I know who's been active in political organizing for several years thinks they're great - effective and smart - and that opinion carries a lot of weight with me.
