Profile
The Common Ground Project is an organization that works to engage and educate votersaround a variety of kitchen table issues that have broad local appeal within their respective communities. This unique approach to engagement and consensus building is made possible by employing a research based approach to outreach and organizing throughout exurban counties, starting along the I-4 corridor, where Democrats performed poorly in the last two election cycles. This research will lay the foundation necessary to build coalitions of like-minded voters, base Democrats together with often neglected NPAs. Researching these more suburban swing and red counties will aid in developing an outreach strategy for persuading NPAs and lessenthusiastic Democrats, engaging them with targeted messaging that emphasizescommonalities instead of differences around the issues that matter to them, and creates the underlying infrastructure necessary to support both electoral work and local initiatives.
