Details

Change for the People is an organization committed to increasing voter participation with underrepresented groups across the country. We don’t want to just show up for elections and ask for votes. We want to listen to the people. We want to hear their stories and amplify their voices. We want to discuss the issues in their communities. We want to figure out the problems, so we can come up with solutions. Our mission is to organize, educate and empower the most marginalized communities to become politically active.
