The in
is very interested in participating in the National Congress for Community Economic Development (NCCED)'s Get out the Vote 2004 Voter Education and Community Empowerment Campaign (GOTV 2004). NCCED is the national trade association for organizations committed to the revitalization of distressed urban and rural communities. The purpose of this campaign is to increase the voting participation of low-income people by encouraging and leveraging the community building activities of the nation's 3,600 community development corporations. Our objective is to assist the community development corporations in encouraging civic participation and promoting a better understanding of public policy and the electoral process in their communities through voter outreach and educational activities. The survey component of this project will be used to produce a manual of "Best Practices" for voter education and community empowerment, which will be available to participating organizations.
