We pride ourselves on doing work that has an impact on our audience and in our communities. But before we can do that, we need to understand the issues that they’re facing. We do this through our pledge cards, which are short surveys designed to gather more information about the issues that matter most to our audience. As a staff, we brainstorm some of the top issues we notice in our lives and communities, then we share those issues with our audience and ask which are most relevant to them. We also talk about those issues when we meet with individuals one-on-one. Then, based on that information, we choose a couple of major issues to focus on throughout the year. Our pledge cards help drive our issue advocacy work, so we’re happy that you’re willing to share!
