Women voters are making their statement, and they’re demanding that men pay attention, learn, listen, and vote the right away. The Selzer Poll in Iowa from the weekend, the leadership of Win With Black Women, the movement toward Harris among white women. They all are leading the way.

Description: (Recorded December 15th and uploaded initially to our volunteer Slack) There's a special election in Virginia for control of their state legislature, and while they're historically now districts we can't take that for granted.

If Common Power could win elections without investing in next-generation leaders, we would not do it. At the end of the day, we have to BOTH work for the America we wish to see AND invest in building that America.

Further together. </video> <video> WITHCP, NOV 5, 2024 – THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE Description: WITHCP, NOV 5, 2024 – THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE. Eight years after the abyss of 2016, 16 years after the mountaintop of Barack Obama’s election, we at Common Power believe we have figured out the recipe for democracy. It’s education, leadership, and action. Whatever happens today, we move forward in strength. Whether you’re a CP veteran or newly arrived, whatever your journey to get here, we are going forward together. </video> <video> WITHCP, NOV 9, 2024 – IS DEMOCRACY ACTUALLY WINNING? Description: WITHCP, NOV 9, 2024 – IS DEMOCRACY ACTUALLY WINNING? It is imperative that we do not allow the results at the presidential level determine our full interpretation of the 2024 elections. We won so many elections that will make a difference, and Common Power did the hard work to contribute in many of these. It could have been so much worse. We have to see the larger arc of American democracy over time. CP always will. </video> <video> The UNO reverse on democracy: Action Academy discusses!

It’s refresh and renew and restore time. For ALL of US, whether we are ballot curing or not, it is essential that we refresh and renew and restore.
