Our mission
Our Voice, Our Vote - Arizona is a member-led organization, committed to advocating for sustainable progressive public policies that address the most pressing issues in our communities. We build power by mobilizing voters, training the next generation of leaders, electing champions into office, and holding elected officials accountable. We work to empower our communities by putting people first to ensure all voices are heard.
"Why are we even having a conversation about Texas? Arizona? Florida? Because there is a reckoning coming. This administration came after minorities & immigrants. And those communities got organized.”
- Van Jones
Our Impact
VERY is our moral community compass. We abide it through advocating for various forms of justice to uplift the visibility, needs, and voices of BIPOC populations. As a Black-led organization, we organize and advocate for legislation that empowers and protects Black people from equity to the fight against policies that disenfranchise and disproportionately impact our communities.
Voter Justice
We believe all Arizonans should have fair access to the ballot box. We fight to expand the electorate and remove barriers to participation so that everyone has a voice in democracy.
Economic Justice
We believe in an economy that works for all. Our BIPOC communities deserve equitable access and opportunities to thrive in their livelihood. We work on initiatives and policies that address the root causes of inequality from fair living wages to greater oversight of financial sectors.
Racial Justice
In this country, systemic racism still endures and is deeply embedded in the structures of our society today. Significant racial disparities that systematically target people of color. We fight for equitable policies that lift up communities of color to attack a system and level the playing field.
Youth Justice
Building a pipeline through engagement, education, and empowerment is the foundation of our work. Our Fellowship programs provide support, resources, and mentorship our BIPOC youth need to become the next generation of leaders.
Get Involved
Our work is spent engaging the New American Majority! We center our fight for justice advocating for the most pressing issues affecting the Black, Latinx, and Millennial communities. Building and developing leaders is at the foundation of our work. We realize this by mobilizing organizers, volunteers and partners to stand with us as we engage and empower the community to take on some of the most pressing issues we face.
