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.

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.

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.
