FOR PROGRESSIVE
CANDIDATES

Creative Cabinet (formerly Civic Power of Change) connects progressive candidates running for local and state office with a national network of volunteer marketing and creative professionals, who donate their time to deliver agency-quality work pro bono. Founded in 2017 and fully volunteer-run, the organization has supported over 300 candidates in 48 states (incl. DC).

Help that starts with the message

Every campaign starts with a conversation about what it needs to say. Then our project managers match it with volunteers who build it: the message first, then the logo, website, walk cards and mailers that carry it. Campaigns cover only hard costs like printing and ads.

Why We Do This

Casey, project manager
CaseyProject manager · Volunteer since 2021“I have so little control over what happens in my life, the courts, the minds of my fellow Americans, that I have to feel like I can affect something.”
Jeff, designer
JeffDesigner · Volunteer since 2023“CPC lets you take skills you developed in the for-profit space and use them to help push candidates – who will make real differences in everyday people’s lives – over the finish line.”

Llewellyn, designer
LlewellynDesigner · Volunteer since 2020“It’s fun to design for progressive candidates who will make good use of it. I say yes to as much of this work as I can manage – maybe more!”
Amy, project manager
AmyProject manager · Volunteer since 2022“Volunteering with CPC means I can magnify my impact by using the skills I already have (and without having to make scary phone calls or nervously knock on doors). Plus, it’s inspiring and makes me hopeful!”
Andrew, designer
AndrewDesigner · Volunteer since 2022“Volunteering combats apathy and uses my skills to make a difference. Besides, I can’t complain about the state of the country if I’m not willing to do something about it.”

We started Creative Cabinet for the same reason our candidates run – to advance the progressive movement and make our country stronger.
