01What it does

What Equal Voice Action does

Mission

To engage, connect, and build power among poor and low-income families to influence policies that improve the economic and social well-being of all families. We believe families are the experts on the issues that affect their daily lives and are, therefore, the best solution providers. We believe that families, united, will change the policies that perpetuate poverty.

As stated on its FY2020 Form 990.

Program

Community Based Pilot Projects - During the first quarter of 2020, Equal Voice Action continued its community-based project with Ubuntu Village in Louisiana. Ubuntu Village sought to engage court-involved families and allies as shared Ubuntu/EVA members, support them through direct advocacy services, and train and mobilize them as "Parent Navigators" and community leaders who can lead knowledge-building, community organizing, and collective advocacy for policy change.

The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
