In sum, we intend to provide our readers with tools and resources to understand and solve the toughest problems civic engagement organizers face. Our magazine will spotlight key people and resources that strengthen grassroots organizations and build their capacity to connect with and mobilize their constituents around the critical issues shaping their lives. Finally, Voter Contact Magazine is a periodical that is written for the layman. One of our aims is to simplify complex technologies and make them understandable to average readers.
