Governing
Program

Fulfilling the promise of a democracy that works for all of us, with elected leaders who fight for the communities they represent. That's the vision of Movement Governing.

We are building multiracial democracy from the ground up.

Our Strategy
& Programs

To build a truly multiracial democracy that works for all of us, we need elected leaders who will listen to, and work with, the communities they represent. 

Our Movement Governing program educates, activates and involves voters in the day-to-day work of governance to reveal the transformative power their votes can have to reshape governments and breathe life into communities. 

Through the People’s Slate and the People’s Pledge, we build relationships with elected officials to advance policies that make material improvements in peoples’ lives.

With deep canvassing, we rebuild faith in democracy and shift perspectives towards progressive, holistic solutions for our economy, environment, the role of government, and healthcare, and dispel the negative myths which are used to divide us.

Fulfilling the promise of democracy and government for all of us, with elected leaders who fight for the communities they represent? That’s the vision of Movement Governing.
