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.[1]
