Pushback Network

The Pushback Network was founded in 2005 and is a national collaboration of indigenous, grassroots organizations and networks committed to building bottom-up, state-based alliances that change both the composition and levels of participation of the electorate. They emphasize strategies designed to empower underrepresented constituencies: people of color, poor and working class communities, and young people.

About

The Pushback Network has state alliances in Alabama, California, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York and Nevada.
