Get Out the Vote Campaigns 

One of the most significant challenges in U.S. electoral politics is the ongoing effort to increase voter turnout.  Unfortunately, many organizations and political candidates believe in using one traditional approach to mobilize voters, regardless of where and when an election is taking place.  In contrast, at TrustSpeaks we believe that communities vary—by race, age, and a many other socio-economic variables, and each variation suggests different strategies to “Get Out the Vote”.  As a result, we have developed quite a track record at increasing turnout.  More importantly, when what’s need is not just higher turnout, but stronger results for a particular candidate, TruthSpeaks can help you develop and implement a strategy to get the results you need.

Issue Campaigns

Contrary to popular belief, civic engagement is not just about voting on election day.  True civic engagement is about what takes place between elections; it is about the work that is done on specific issues that are of concern to the community.  Whether through door-to-door canvassing, community forums, media events or personal intervention with policy makers, TruthSpeaks can help you get your message where it needs to go.

Training Workshops

At TruthSpeaks, our purpose is not only to implement civic engagement campaigns, but to empower communities with the tools and skills necessary to create and implement their own campaign strategies.  This is why we have developed workshops covering topics such as lessons learned from civil rights movement history, power analysis, community organizing, electoral strategies, media strategies and much more.  Whether you represent a community group trying to take your organizing to another level, or a funder trying to build capacity within your partner organizations, we have the workshop that will meet your needs.
