The National Coalition for Dialogue and Deliberation is excited to welcome Let's Fix This, Inc., to our growing network of organizations committed to strengthening democracy through meaningful engagement and inclusive dialogue. Based in Oklahoma City, Let's Fix This, Inc., brings a powerful voice to NCDD's mission of fostering collaborative community engagement. Their work centers on engaging and empowering underrepresented communities to build sustainable people power that eliminates barriers to civic participation and guides policy-making. This commitment to amplifying marginalized voices aligns perfectly with NCDD's dedication to equity and inclusion in democratic processes. Building Power Through Civic EngagementLet's Fix This, Inc. operates with a clear vision: full participation and representation in Oklahoma civic life, with an unwavering commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in all aspects of their work. Their approach recognizes that meaningful democratic participation requires more than just voting—it demands sustained community organizing, education, and advocacy that centers the experiences and needs of those historically excluded from decision-making processes. The organization's comprehensive strategy focuses on three interconnected pillars: voter registration, voter turnout, and voter education and engagement. Through diverse outreach methods, including community events, door-to-door canvassing, phone banking, and digital engagement, they meet communities where they are, building relationships that extend far beyond election cycles. One of Let's Fix This, Inc.'s most significant contributions to democratic engagement is their leadership in the Oklahoma Civic Engagement Table, a collective impact project that exemplifies the kind of collaborative work NCDD champions. This network of nonpartisan 501(c)(3) organizations demonstrates how diverse groups can unite around shared values while maintaining their missions and approaches. The Table's work spans four critical areas: increasing civic engagement among historically underrepresented communities, removing systemic barriers to voting access, ensuring accurate representation through fair redistricting and Census participation, and achieving racial equity within the progressive community. Centering the New American MajorityLet's Fix This, Inc.'s commitment to engaging and empowering what they call the "New American Majority"—young people under 34, women, and people of color—reflects a deep understanding of demographic change and democratic possibility. Their work acknowledges that these communities, while numerically significant, have been systematically excluded from political power and decision-making processes. This focus on building power in communities of color, growing the capacity of their leaders and organizations, and facilitating equitable access to resources directly supports NCDD's commitment to creating more inclusive spaces for dialogue and deliberation. When more voices are included in civic conversations, the resulting policies and decisions better reflect the full spectrum of community needs and perspectives. What sets Let's Fix This, Inc. apart is its recognition that transformative civic engagement requires sustained, long-term commitment. Their approach acknowledges that full participation of the Oklahoma electorate cannot be achieved through single election cycles or isolated campaigns—it demands ongoing relationship-building, education, and advocacy that spans years and decades. This long-term perspective aligns with NCDD's understanding that a healthy democracy requires ongoing cultivation of civic skills, relationships, and institutions. Strengthening Democracy Through Community ConnectionLet's Fix This, Inc. provides practical support for civic participation through comprehensive resources that help community members navigate political processes. From guides on contacting legislators to information about running for office, their materials make democratic participation more accessible to first-time activists and experienced advocates alike. Their resource library includes everything from handouts about school funding to maps of the Oklahoma Capitol complex, demonstrating their commitment to removing practical barriers to civic engagement.
As Let's Fix This, Inc. joins the NCDD network, we anticipate rich opportunities for learning and collaboration. Their experience with collective impact organizing, their commitment to centering marginalized voices, and their long-term approach to democratic engagement offer valuable contributions to our shared work of strengthening democracy through dialogue and deliberation. We look forward to supporting their continued efforts to eliminate barriers to civic participation and to learning from their innovative approaches to community engagement. Welcome to the network, Let's Fix This, Inc. We're excited to learn from your work and to support your mission of ensuring that everyone has a voice in our government. Learn more at: letsfixthis.org/
