Civic Engagement
- We believe that a truly empowered community must be socially conscious in order to take action when needed. Action may come through voting or through other means of giving back to their community.
- Using methods of popular education we engage our community in conversations about the issues we are facing and their root causes. Through a process of house meetings, they talk about possible solutions, come to a collective narrative and talk about how they can become involved and make a difference. House meetings are an ongoing program area of Sunflower.
What We’ve Done
- Partnered with over 20 organizations to create KanVote, a coalition of organizations working to protect voting rights
- Started an electoral program focused on educating and registering new and marginalized voters about the issues affecting their communities
