What We Do
Voter Contact and Mobilization
The Campaign for Community Change works with community based organizations in several states to conduct large scale voter contact and mobilization programs focused on low-income people of color. This program moves hundreds of thousands to the polls AND strengthens the power of our partner organizations to advocate for their needs and values to policymakers.
501(c)4 Incubator Program
Grassroots communities decide to establish 501(c)4 organizations when they need their constituencies to have a voice in political arenas where traditional 501(c)3 non profit groups can not operate. For populations that have long been marginalized and disenfranchised—like low-income people, immigrants and people of color—such a public voice is critical. Traditionally, grassroots groups have had to find their own way through the complexities of creating and conducting 501(c)4 organizations. The Campaign for Community Change has begun a pilot project to help incubate these organizations and increase their effectiveness through shared training, technical assistance and evaluation.

Online Advocacy
The Campaign for Community Change is building a robust online advocacy capacity driven by the issues that matter most to low-income communities and communities of color. The focus on issues of poverty, social justice and racial justice will set the Campaign for Community Change apart. There are millions of Americans who care deeply about poverty and social and racial justice, but we do not have a vehicle for mobilizing this constituency in an ongoing way on federal legislation and other issues. Meeting this need will become critical to move progressive values and priorities in Washington on issues such as health care, immigration, and worker justice.
Lobbying for Change
The Campaign for Community Change plays a supporting role to the work of its sister organization, the Center for Community Change. The Center contracts with the Campaign to conduct its lobbying work and bring the voice of grassroots communities to our nation's capitol. While our focus is always on the grassroots, the Campaign ensures that the needs of low-income people and communities of color are heard loud and clear in Washington, DC.
