In 2004, CVH initiated a three year plan to build our power through an electoral strategy. This plan focuses on building a list of progressive economic justice voters, increasing turn out and participation, and training community members about the electoral and political process. This past year, CVH ran the program in a way that would test and evaluate systems and the intersection between a voter engagement program with our core economic justice organizing work. We also wanted to run a program that was operated within the framework of CVH’s organizational culture of being an independent, non-partisan and membership led institution. Attached is a case study based on the voter engagement project as well as a power point presentation that goes with the case study.
