Center For Common Ground The Center for Common Ground is a non-partisan, Black and women-led voting rights organization founded in 2018. We focus our work in voter suppression states where more than 20% of voters are voters of color – Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas. They know that democracy works best when everyone is invited to participate in it. Unfortunately, there is a stark contrast in whose voices get prioritized in elections. At the Center for Common Ground our goal is to ensure every voter knows their voice and their votes matter. Collaborating with local partners, Center For Common Ground strives to mobilize ALL voters of color, both those who consistently participate in elections and those who have yet to exercise their right to vote.
