BUILDING THE CP COMMUNITY
We create unique spaces for people at different life stages to on-ramp them into civic action through community, education, and investment in next-generation leadership.
CP FUTURE
We believe in developing the next generation of civic leaders to maintain and build our democracy. CP Future educates and trains Gen-Z students in our national program Action Academy. Participants go on to become volunteers, lead CP Fieldwork, and organize their peers in civic engagement all across the country.
THE INSTITUTE FOR CP
The Institute for Common Power creates educational opportunities that are interactive, experiential, accessible, and unbound by traditional systemic and financial hurdles. We catalyze people to action through workshops, lectures, courses, learning tours, national educational events, and more designed to foster, sustain, and expand what should be the most common power in American democracy — the right to vote.
VOLUNTEER WITH US
We partner with local organizations in key swing states across the nation. Our partners provide us with the strategy and we bring the necessary volunteers to help them canvass and win elections. One door, one household, has the potential to be the difference in an election.
Our combination of education, community, and leadership development sustains our work during the most important elections and onward.
