Mission and programs · 2024

Primary exempt purpose

CLEAN UP THE RIVER ENVIRONMENT (CURE)'S C4 PROGRAM, THE CURE ACTION FUND, WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2024 TO SUPPORT CURE'S LOBBYING EFFORTS AND VOTER ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY IN TARGETED LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTS. AS A 501(C)(4) SOCIAL WELFARE ORGANIZATION, THE CURE ACTION FUND EMPOWERS RURAL COMMUNITIES TO BUILD INDEPENDENT POLITICAL POWER AND ENGAGE IN PUBLIC POLICY AND ELECTORAL POLITICS. WE BELIEVE IN A FUTURE WHERE ORDINARY PEOPLE TAKE THE LEAD AND ACT TOGETHER TO SUSTAIN THE LANDSCAPES WE INHABIT; WHERE COMMUNITIES FLOURISH THROUGH FOSTERING HUMAN DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION, FAIRNESS AND JUSTICE, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND HEALING; AND WHERE CULTURAL AND INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES ARE RECOGNIZED AS A COMMUNITY ASSET AND DEMOCRACY AS AN INDISPENSABLE PRACTICE.

  • IN 2024, CURE LAUNCHED OUR RURAL ISSUES PAGE, WHICH DRAWS FROM INSIGHTS GATHERED DURING OUR 2023 RURAL LISTENING SESSIONS, IDENTIFYING KEY CHALLENGES FACING RURAL COMMUNITIES AND DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS THAT MAKE RURAL PEOPLE FEEL HEARD. THE WEBPAGE INCLUDES STRAIGHTFORWARD, ACTIONABLE PLATFORMS, IDEAS, AND FRAMEWORKS THAT CANDIDATES CAN ADOPT TO ADDRESS THE CURRENT NEEDS OF RURAL COMMUNITIES. THIS WEBPAGE HIGHLIGHTS THESE ISSUES FOR VOTERS AND LEADERS ACROSS THE STATE, ENSURING THAT TOPICS LIKE CLIMATE CHANGE RECEIVE THE ATTENTION THEY DESERVE.WE CREATED A SURROUND-SOUND STRATEGY TO KEEP VOTERS INFORMED ON HOW TO CHOOSE THEIR CANDIDATES BY:1. PROMOTING OUR RURAL ISSUES PAGE THROUGH GOOGLE ADS AND ACROSS SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS.2. ADVOCACY AROUND THE LEGACY AMENDMENT, MOBILIZING PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT TO GET TO THE POLLS.3. HIGHLIGHTING EARLY VOTING OPPORTUNITIES, WHICH ARE CRUCIAL IN RURAL AREAS.4. HOSTING EVENTS, SUCH AS OUR EVENT IN GRANITE FALLS WITH SECRETARY OF STATE STEVE SIMON, TO ENCOURAGE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT.USING 501(C)(4) FUNDS, WE HAVE BOOSTED OUR OUTREACH BY ADVERTISING THE RURAL ISSUES PAGE AND SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT (FROM THE LEGACY AMENDMENT TO GOTV ON CLIMATE NARRATIVES) IN OUR TARGET GEOGRAPHIES. WE ALSO REACHED OUT DIRECTLY TO DFL CANDIDATES IN OUR PRIORITY DISTRICTS TO OFFER OUR SUPPORT, SHARE THIS RESOURCE, AND BUILD RELATIONSHIPS THAT WILL ALLOW US TO CONTINUE THIS WORK AFTER THE ELECTION.CURE'S POST-ELECTION EFFORT INCLUDES BUILDING OUT THE CAPACITY OF CURE ACTION, PLANNING FOR THE 2025 LEGISLATIVE SESSION, AND CONTINUING TO DEVELOP OUR CAPACITY FOR 2026.
