Too many people feel shut out of politics, while powerful interests have ready access to decision-makers. We give ordinary people the skills, confidence, and opportunities to build relationships with politicians, make their voices heard, and influence positive change for their communities.

Beneficiaries
The people most affected by the climate, nature and economic crises are often excluded from the political decisions that shape their lives. Meanwhile, well-funded industries enjoy ready access to decision-makers. Trust in politics is low and too many feel their voices don’t matter. For democracy to work, politicians need to hear not just from those with loudest voices or deepest pockets, but from the diverse communities they have been elected to represent.
Through training, coaching and facilitated meetings, we give communities the knowledge, skills and confidence to build constructive relationships with decision-makers to turn their concerns into political influence. Our model is proven. In the last 18 months we've supported 7,600+ people, strengthened 81 campaigns, and influenced 366 politicians. With Big Give support, we'll reach more communities and help translate their voices into political action.
