Power and Leadership

Amplifying every voice.

The Power and Leadership TogetherATL Fund ensures all residents in Atlanta have a voice and are empowered to use it. This Fund supports the efforts of organizations working to increase civic engagement and voter participation rates in communities of color.

Vote Your Voice

A core methodology of TogetherATL is leveraging partnerships to succeed. The “Vote Your Voice” initiative is sponsored by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry by pursuing justice for victims of discrimination, exploitation and oppression.

Vote Your Voice provides grants to organizations in five Southern states, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. Those grant-funded organizations work on a range of activities to secure full voter participation and achieve equitable representation. 

For questions about current or future grants for the Vote Your Voice program, please contact Program Officer Robin Brule at the Southern Poverty Law Center: robin.brule@splcenter.org.
