Evolve is a non-partisan, 501c(4) nonprofit community organization working to better fund public education in California by reforming Proposition 13. We believe that the most effective way to counter the corrupting power of money in politics is a long-term commitment to ground-up, grassroots organizing. We focus on issues that bring together middle-class swing voters and the left-of-center base. We are 100% funded by individual donations from our 13,000 members from across California. We believe in the power of one person talking to another. Our ground-up approach focuses on local organizing as the foundation of a larger grassroots network. By organizing the hundreds of local communities that make up California, we have built a grassroots network that includes thousands of elected officials, community leaders, and activists in every part of the state.
