Goals & Strategy
Learn about the organization's key goals, strategies, capabilities, and progress.
Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Educate and empower local citizens around policy solutions that impact their lives and to do this work in a way that sustains action of the long term.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We utilize a person to person organizing strategy that places an emphasis on self-identified solutions.
We focus efforts on identifying potential leaders and cultivating their skills.
We then empower these leaders to mobilize a broad range of individuals and like-minded organizations to achieve shared goals.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
70 years of experience proves that we have the staying power and adaptability to meet existing and emerging needs to meet our goals.
Our staff and activists take part in training and renewal exercises to keep their skills sharp and relevant.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Over the years we have published 100s of educational materials, conducted 100s of educational events, organized 100s of communities, activated 1000s of people, and help created 100s of community leaders.
Our work has led to success on issue campaigns to raise wages, secure earned income tax credits, reign in predatory lenders, created local trade commissions, and successfully educated citizens leading to critical policy successes on health care, trade, and infrastructure.
