Background Statement
Being “broad-based” means we are avowedly non-partisan and intentionally diverse. Our network of grassroots leaders cuts across lines of class, religion, race, profession, and political affiliation. Rather than remain divided by our differences, we choose to build relationships for the purpose of addressing common problems affecting all working families.
A few important points about how we work:
CCG is non-partisan and will not endorse any candidate or party
CCG acts on issues identified by the local community through the process of conducting individual relational meetings and small group house meetings
CCG is led by local leaders from member institutions, with support from professional organizers who facilitate local leadership development
Funding comes primarily from member institution pledges and is supplemented by individual and grant funding
