WHAT WE DO
GOOD OLD-FASHIONED GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING--WHEN COMBINED WITH CUTTING-EDGE DATA AND TARGETING--EXPANDS THE PROGRESSIVE BASE AND MOVES VOTERS TO THE POLLS.
Where television ads go wide, field organizing goes deep into communities, targeting key individual voters. Our partners knock on doors, make phone calls, and send voters mail. Their relationships in neighborhoods all over this country make them trusted messengers to persuadable voters.
America Votes helps our partners do their work better and smarter. We coordinate our partners' activities in order to maximize resources and eliminate duplication.
The planning and coordinating starts early and continues past Election Day. Working from vote goals, America Votes' partners coordinate at state tables to divide up the turf. Throughout the cycle, we provide services and tools to our partners need to succeed. We house the shared voter file and provide state of the art modeling technology. Through in-state communications hubs, our partners unify their messages. When the time comes to Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV), we combine our partners GOTV programs into one cost-effective strategy, freeing up valuable resources.
After the elections, our partners turn their attention to the legislative session. They push progressive policies and hold elected officials accountable for results. America Votes immediately sets our sights on the next election. We evaluate what worked, what didn't, disseminate best practices, and plan for the next campaign.
