Profile

Clean up the river environment (cure)'s c4 program, the cure action fund, was established in 2024 to support cure's lobbying efforts and voter engagement strategy in targeted legislative districts. As a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, the cure action fund empowers rural communities to build independent political power and engage in public policy and electoral politics. We believe in a future where ordinary people take the lead and act together to sustain the landscapes we inhabit; where communities flourish through fostering human diversity and inclusion, fairness and justice, environmental protection and healing; and where cultural and individual differences are recognized as a community asset and democracy as an indispensable practice.
