In order to reach our 2008 goals and increase the political capacity and power of our member and allied organizations, ICIRR is encouraging organizations to participate in the campaign as base organizations. This is if you are a part of non-partisan organization, club, group, and would like to get involved as a collective. You come to volunteer opportunities together and make it a blast.
