“Part III - Statement of Program Service Accomplishments - Emgage is a national, non-partisan organization that aspires to ensure that under-represented communities have the same constitutional rights, social privileges, and political opportunities afforded to all Americans. Through Grassroots Networking, Emgage aims to politically empower and train under-represented communities such as the Muslim, South Asian, and Arab-American community members on the importance of civics and the political process. Emgage also works with the members of these communities to help educate and train those who aspire to be and one day can be the civic leaders at the local, state, and national levels and to help those members be effective community leaders and organizers working to advance beneficial policies and legislation that help protect and enforce the rights afforded by the United States Constitution to all citizens and residents. Emgage's activities have resulted in creating awareness about the political process and civic engagement to its targeted communities. Through its programs, Emgage has created future leaders among the youth, has educated underrepresented communities on the importance of civics and the political process and has educated community leaders about the makeup of certain minority constituencies within the State of Florida. Emerging Voters Program: With the help of its dedicated volunteers and staff Emgage engages the Muslin, Arab, and South Asian American communities along with other underrepresented communities in the electoral process. The Emerging voters programming includes voter registration campaigns, absentee ballot drives, organizing early voting events and creating opportunities for candidates and elected officials to interact with community members so they can learn about and discuss issues that are important in their local communities. Emerging Data Program: Emgage has created a database of under-represented ethnic communities with a focus on registered voters from the Muslim, Arab, and South Asian American communities. Emgage communicates with this database on a regular basis through live and automated polling, emails and collects data on voter trends and issues that drive these communities to the polls. Emerging Leaders Program: The Emerging Leaders Program builds on Emgage's national training modules through a series of leadership trainings carried out throughout the State of Florida.”
