Michigan United:
The vision of the Michigan People’s Campaign is to ignite the power of our communities and
shift the balance of power; cultivate the leadership of those directly affected by injustice; and
build popular institutions for the future. It is a multi-racial organization, which works year-round
to make sure that communities that have been left out of the political process, especially
working-class communities and communities of color, are fully engaged and have good reasons to vote. The organization also trains the next generation of candidates and campaign managers from communities that are most impacted by injustice.
Carolina Federation Fund:
The Carolina Federation works to bring people together across differences to build a new political majority in North Carolina - one rooted in a culture of belonging and strong enough to win elections and wield governing power in our state. They seek to combine the best of Southern Freedom traditions: deep base-building in our counties and neighborhoods, transformative leadership development, power-building issue campaigns, and large-scale voter organizing. They fight for a democracy for all, an economy for all, and for a culture of belonging for all North Carolinians.
