Description

Organization Overview

America Votes is the coordination hub of the progressive community, leading collaborative efforts among a diverse coalition of more than 400 state and national partner organizations to advance progressive policies, win elections and protect every American's right to vote.

America Votes works nationally and in more than 20 states to provide a range of services to partners, including strategic planning, advocacy and electoral campaign coordination, data tools and targeting services, and on-the-ground leadership in key states.

America Votes is committed to developing long-term roadmaps and setting critical goals for states.

With an eye on redistricting, the consequences of extreme conservative gerrymandering, and attacks upon voting rights, these efforts are essential to building progressive power in the states, session-by-session and election-by-election.

Racial Equity Statement

As a leader of collaborative efforts to mobilize voters, protect voting rights, and win elections, America Votes is committed to advancing racial equity within our organization and across our coalition.

We acknowledge the systematic racism that permeates all facets of our society, beginning with the foundational right to vote.

America Votes is also engaging with an understanding of the ways gender, sexuality and other forms of oppression intersect with race and how those relationships impact inequities faced by our staff, our partners, and the communities that we engage in our work.

America Votes strives to model our commitment to racial equity through our internal and external operations, programs, and partnerships.

We acknowledge the inequitable structures that continue to exist and are moving forward with a sustained commitment in time, resources and people to challenge structural racism and work towards creating a reflective organization and democracy.
