What leads Black, Latinx, and other people of color to see a power-building organization as their political home? The researchers worked with three base-building organizations, VOTE (LA), PICO California, and Voces de la Frontera (WI), to conduct listening sessions with their memberships to understand what factors help members stay connected to their organizations and see those organizations as places where they can “make sense” of their political environments. These factors include a sense of belonging, reflecting a common set of values and beliefs, and driving community impact.
