Mission Statement
Project Vote is a 501 (c)(3) non-partisan, non-profit organization that registers, educates, and mobilizes low-income and minority citizens to vote. Project Vote's mission is uniquely focused on building voter registration, education, and mobilization networks. Project Vote mobilizes new and infrequent voters around issues that are important to their families and communities, thus giving previous non-voters a reason to vote. The increasing presence at the polls of low-income and minority voters continues to make a difference year after year.
Description
* Since 1982 Project Vote has registered and turned out to vote over 2.7 million newly registered low-income and minority citizens * Filed and won a dozen voting rights lawsuits * Trained thousands of low-income and minority voter mobilization organizers and provided voters with follow-up voter education
