BUILDING DEMOCRACY WITH EVERY VOTE
SUPPORT VOTER PARTICIPATION
A strong democracy is centered around community power. Every Nebraskan — regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, or ability — must have the opportunity and be empowered to play an active role in building a democracy that creates positive change in our communities, during the election cycle and beyond.
To do this, we work with community partners across the state to build the power of participation. Contact Ruby and CĂ©sar with questions or to get involved!
