Mission and Program Overview
Mission
The specific purpose of this organization is to bring to the forefront current issues which face us as a society. With an emphasis on local, state, and federal government issues, we aim to bring to the public a clear understanding of how our governments works as well as provide a forum whereby those in government and politics may interact directly with the people who elect them.

We aim to bring to the general public events, forums, and symposiums that highlight the issues that move us as a collective, and to stimulate conversations that will lead to positive and lasting change.Our priority is to facililate an open dialogue and develop new ideas to solve the policy problems that face us every day.

Through our findings, we were able to communicate to a universe of voters the issues that were relevant depending on election ballot. Additionally, the amount of resources focused on culling thousands of records of donor data in an effort to provide a comprehensive research base was expanded.The organization hosted a number of educational events open to the public with topics ranging from the health care, technology, voting rights, and education.
