This year we will have a billion dollars or more of media thrown at us from every direction, to persuade us how to think about the big issues of the day and how to cast our ballots. And when we go to the polls in November, we will have to make a choice about how to make a better life for ourselves, our family, and our community.

For Our Future will cut through all of that clutter — with community organizing on the issues that matter most, and on the elections that will shape our future, not shouting matches on cable TV. We are a people-driven organization committed to serving progressive values and causes that are larger than ourselves. And by working with local leaders and organizations, we will create permanent and lasting change all around us.
