Founded in 1999, The Fannie Lou Hamer Project is a national education and advocacy organization dedicated to strengthening our democracy through bringing justice and equity to the campaign finance system. The Fannie Lou Hamer Project recognizes that any system of privately- financed election campaigns, if only because private wealth is so unequally and unjustly distributed, guarantees grossly unequal political opportunity. As such, it makes impossible full and equal access to the political process that is of all our people's birthright.
Committed to building an intergenerational, multicultural constituency, the Project is guided by perspectives and interests of people of color, youth and disenfranchised communities around the world. The Project advocates for an authentically democratic campaign finance system that ensures political power and voice to everyone.
