Our Story

Empowering Communities Through Civic Engagement

Founded in 2004, PROACTIVE is a non-partisan coalition of community organizations and churches dedicated to voter mobilization. Over the years, we have become the leading third-party challenger during elections, known for protecting the integrity of the electoral process. Through the commitment of our volunteers, we have continued to monitor elections, register voters, and educate and mobilize the community to ensure every voice is heard.

Our mission goes beyond elections. We focus on building long-term civic engagement, empowering marginalized communities, and advocating for policies that promote social and economic equity. By equipping individuals with the tools to participate fully in society, we strive to create a future where every person has a stake in the decisions that shape their community.
