The Gill Foundation's Democracy

:_

Project is a non-partisan, non-ideo-
logical effort to increase participation
in the democratic process. The pro-
ject's primary goal is to help state-
level organizations sewing the |es- I
bian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
(LGBT).community build a voter file
of people who support LGBT equality
— regardless of their own sexual on-
entation or gender identity. The
multi-year project involves list _
enhancement and specialized train-
ing within selected states to assist ,
LGBT organizations'GOTV (get-out-
the-vote) efforts. _
The Democracy Project

piloted the list enhancement program

in sevenistates in 2002. Those
states were New Hampshire,
Vermont, Georgia, Florida, Missouri,
Colorado, and Oregon. The seven
additional states chosen for inclusion
in 2003 are Iowa, Ohio,
Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, North Carolina and
Washington State. The goal is to
maximize democratic‘ participation by
members of stakeholder organiza-
tions and their households.‘

The Democracy Project
held its 2nd annual training session
on September 10 in Winooski.
Seven Vermont LGBT organizations
are participating in the project for the

second year. Roland Palmer was
elected for the second year as the
Vermont State Liaison for the proj-
ect. Organizations interested in par-
ticipating in the Democracy Project
