MIV advocates for an approach to electoral organizing that emphasizes elections work as one component of a larger movement for social and economic justice. This movement-building approach to elections focuses not only on short-term increases in voter turnout and wins on specific ballot initiatives, but also on: * building leadership and capacity within low-income immigrant communities and organizations; * catalyzing and strengthening diverse multi-ethnic alliances; and * connecting electoral work to ongoing organizing for social justice. We work with organizations to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate materials and skills training based on a progressive, low-income specific platform to help them build effective voter and civic participation programs over time.
