Our goal at EDA is to build local-to-national collaboration among regional election integrity groups acting locally but also with collective strategy for effecting national outcome. This collaboration we speak of is not one-way and top-down, but two-way and interactive.
Local groups have invaluable direct experience that can be synthesized and applied at a national level.
A national group can develop research, legal, media, and fundraising capacities that are beyond the scope of smaller local groups.
We encourage you to go get active with a local or regional election integrity group where you live -- and then put that experience to work at a national level as well, by becoming an active member of an EDA Working Group [2]. Everything that you learn and do on the local level can be leveraged for double-duty, working with EDA to build a collaborative national effort.
