Central Valley Matters 2025- Funding the grassroots in CD 22
How can I make a difference now?
The time for community grassroots organizing begins today!
Significant change takes time, money, and perseverance. As a statewide alliance of California organizations, Central Valley Matters works to engage the community in CD22. The grassroots organizations we support bring their year-round commitment, high energy and hands-on experience, using local civic engagement strategies in the strategically chosen, disenfranchised parts of the communities where volunteers and staff live and work. Your strategic support now helps keep – and expand! -- vital community engagement and services in this critical moment.
Partisan 501c4 grassroots groups:
Community Water Center Action Fund (CWCAF), working in Tulare and Kern Counties, plans to begin direct, hard-hitting messages on values and issues that will wake people up to vote for their own community’s interests. Most of all, they need clean water. CWCAF’s messages – such as by year-round billboards on highly traveled local roads and highways: it’s a highly visible, mass-messaging, daily opportunity to reinforce our values.
501(c)(4) non tax-deductible group
Dolores Huerta Action Fund (DHAF) is on the front lines in Kern and Tulare Counties. They are protesting and sending messages to residents about the cuts coming to Medi-Cal and tax cuts for billionaires. DHAF is on the ground, with new organizers in the field: two in Kern County (Bakersfield and north Kern), one in Tulare and one in Fresno.
501(c)(4) non tax-deductible group
LOUD For Tomorrow Action Fund (LOUD) is a youth-led powerhouse transforming California's Central Valley through engaging young leaders and has rapidly emerged as a catalytic force in a region long overlooked. LOUD’s work reaches across Kern and Tulare counties. For 2025, LOUD will conduct youth-focused, targeted canvassing around three priorities that resonate with younger voters: housing justice, wellness, and economic mobility.

Non-partisan 501c3 grassroots groups:
Delano Guardians (DG) is a volunteer organization working since 2013 in northern Kern County. They work to register, educate and empower their voters. DG also focuses on bringing youth into active roles, as we saw in their recent mobilization of Shafter residents to defeat a state plan that would have increased pollution in local areas. Their fiscal sponsor is Center on Race, Poverty, & the Environment.
501(c)(3) tax-deductible group.
Poder Latinx (Poder) works to: Close the substantial gap of voter engagement and voter turnout; build a continuum cycle of civic engagement with a permanent infrastructure; increase and sustain civic consciousness; combat misinformation and intimidation with improved methods of communication; have a higher and sustained impact on the community; build new leaders; win policy changes. This year they Poder focus on voter registration in CD22.
501(c)(3) tax-deductible group
Valley Voices works to increase civic engagement and voter education, specifically with new voters in Kings county, often in Spanish. Educating CD22 residents on the importance of voter registration takes time, which DG does via phone banking, social media, billboards, home visits, town halls, and yard signs. DG also focuses on bringing youth into active roles. Their fiscal sponsor is Center on Race, Poverty, & the Environment.
