About Galvanize USA:
Galvanize USA is a nonpartisan civic empowerment program with a mission to build an America that works for everyone. The division in politics today is causing more and more women to step back from civic engagement. We believe there is a different way forward – one that is rooted in meaningful connection and where we get the support we need, feel less alone, and learn & grow together. We use data-driven research to support our audience in building strong communities, defending against disinformation, and meaningfully engaging in civic life. To learn more, visit galvanizeusa.org.
Employees of Galvanize USA also work part-time for a coordinated 501(c)(4) project, Galvanize Action. Galvanize Action identifies, engages, and moves moderate women in rural, small town, and suburban America to reliably support progress. To learn more, visit galvanizeaction.org.
