Every Voice
Mission: To win campaigns and policies that combat the influence of money at the federal, state, and local levels, to ensure that not only the voices of everyday Americans are heard, but that the people of our country have control over their democracy.
Every Voice is a social welfare organization (501c(4)) that works alongside its two sister organizations—Every Voice Center (a 501c(3) organization) and Every Voice Action (a super PAC)— advocating for a democracy that works for everyone by reducing the influence of money in politics.

Current Democracy Work
Every Voice runs campaigns that chip away at the power of money in politics. It works with elected officials at every level of government to pass small-donor driven policies that amplify the voices of every citizen, not just big donors and wealthy special interests. It also campaigns for the passage of ballot measures and initiatives supporting small-donor driven solutions. Additionally, Every Voice writes detailed reports on campaign finance and highlights politicians working for such reforms. Every Voice Center supports this work with education, outreach, and, organizing activities.
Every Voice Action, a super PAC, works to elect candidates at the state and federal level who support policies to reform the electoral system—specifically, at the federal level, the Government By the People and Fair Elections Now Acts.
Recent Successes
In 2015, in collaboration with several local and national allies, Every Voice helped win policies coast-to-coast to reign in the influence of wealthy special interests in elections. Two particularly successful campaigns in which Every Voice advocated were in Maine and Seattle, where voters overwhelmingly supported ballot initiatives with small-donor driven solutions to reduce the power of big money in politics.
