Since December of 2003,
Grassroots Campaigns, Inc. has partnered with a wide variety of groups
and
campaigns. We're best known for pioneering innovative get-out-the-vote
strategies in 2004 and 2006 elections with MoveOn.org political action,
and
raising millions of dollars in small donor contributions for the
Democratic
National Committee. Since then, we have
expanded to working more groups than ever before.
In 2011, Grassroots Campaigns
is working with a variety of organizations on some of the most timely
and
urgent issues facing American citizens. And
looking
a head towards the future of
staying on the front lines of
these important issues.

Amnesty International (www.amnesty.org)
American Civil Liberties Union
(www.aclu.org)
Oxfam America

Founded in
1961,Amnesty
International is a
Nobel
Prize-winning grassroots human rights organization with over 2.5
million
members worldwide. Amnesty International's researc h and action
is focused on
preventing and ending discrimination, unjust imprisonment, torture and
executions and defending freedom of thought, expression and identity.
Current
campaigns focus on, among other things, stopping violence against
women,
seeking justice in the "war on terror," and promoting healthcare as a
human right. Grassroots Campaigns staff has been working to expand
Amnesty
International's member base since August 2008.
American Civil
Liberties Union works
in
the
courts,
legislatures and communities to defend the rights and liberties
guaranteed
to all by the U.S. Constitution. They were founded in 1920, and now
have an on-the-ground
presence
in
every state. Current priorities include
granting equal rights to all, freedom of speech and religion, as well
as
preserving reproductive freedom, and fighting for reproductive rights.
Grassroots Campaigns canvassers are building public support in order to
stop
right-wing politicians from abusing their power by imposing their
personal
definitions of morality on their constituents.
Oxfam
America is an
international relief and
development agency that fights poverty, hunger, and injustice. Oxfam
America
does their work by partnering with local organizations to find and i mplement
the most effective, appropriate, and enduring solutions. Oxfam America
is committed
to expanding their life-saving local work, but because millions of the
world's
poor people are paralyzed by systemic
economic barriers they are also taking
the fight to the global-political level, and changing the way
development work
is done around the
world. Starting in Spring 2010, Grassroots Campaigns will be
taking Oxfam America's message to the streets of Boston, Washington,
D.C. and
Los Angeles, with more cities to come this summer.
Equality California is
California's
largest
statewide
LGBT rights organization. After the passage of Prop 8 barred same-sex couples
from marriage in November 2008, EQCA partnered with Grassroots
Campaigns to
generate support for the freedom to marry. From Sacramento to San
Diego, our
staff has had conversations with more than half a million Californians
who are
eager to bring fairness back to their state.
Save the Children's
mission is to make
lasting, positive change in the lives of disadvantaged children. It was
founded
in the U.S. in 1932, and remains the only anti-poverty group of its
size that
does not have any political or religous affiliations. Save the Children
field
staff provide education, nutrition and healthcare through
community-based
programs in 137 countries and, for 2008, put 94% of all expenditures
toward
program services. Grassroots Campaigns canvassers working in 18 cities
nationwide, have recruited caring people to sponsor children since 2007.
