The Million Voters Project Launches largest grassroots civic engagement program in the state

On October 3rd California Calls announced the official launch of the Million Voters Project (MVP) – a collaboration of California’s strongest community-based networks working across the state to mobilize Black, Latino, and Asian Pacific Islander families, immigrants, refugees, faith-based constituencies, formerly incarcerated people, and young voters.

The six organizations that make up the Million Voters Project – Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), Asian Pacific Environmental Network (APEN), California Calls, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA), Mobilize the Immigrant Vote (MIV), and PICO California  have joined forces to lead the largest grassroots civic engagement program in the state.

From August to the October 24th deadline, MVP has registered over 80,000 voters, and will contact 650,000 infrequent voters over the phone and in face-to-face conversations to motivate them to the polls on Election Day.

As part of the fall civic engagement program MVP Action Fund created a voter guide with recommendations on key initiatives and everything voters need to know before they cast their vote.

These recommendations were developed through careful research and review by the MVP partners. We took “yes” and “no” positions on 6 high priority measures where we all agreed, and provide information on the other 11 propositions. Check out the voter guide in English and Spanish.

You can help get out the vote in your community. MVP has volunteer opportunities across the state by signing up to volunteer with a MVP Partner.

Million Voters Project (MVP) is a collaboration of California’s strongest community-based networks: Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), Asian Pacific Environmental Network (APEN), California Calls, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA), Mobilize the Immigrant Vote (MIV), and PICO California, with support from the nation’s largest online Latino organizing group, Presente.org.
