Since its inception, our election system has intentionally prevented people with historically marginalized identities from participating equally and fully. In service of an inclusive, multiracial democracy, we work to advance an election system that centers the voices of voters who have been systemically oppressed.

In a reimagined system, structural changes are needed to build a democracy that does not allow minority rule to govern.

The Voting Power Initiative invests in:

• State and local organizing groups that build power in their communities, particularly communities of color
• Voting rights work at the national level that supports grassroots organizing and state elections work
• Long-term structural changes that address the inequities at our voting system’s core
