The Q10 Approach
Civic engagement
Voter Education and Awareness: Through accessible, non-partisan resources, Q10 educates community members on the electoral process, the importance of each vote, and the issues at stake. This involves voter information sessions, pamphlets, and an online platform with clear, digestible content on candidates, policies, and voting logistics.
Unifying Voter Voices: Q10 encourages communities to vote collectively on key issues that align with their values. By building awareness around specific issues, Q10 helps voters understand the power of unified action, fostering a sense of shared purpose and making collective voices heard more effectively at the ballot box.
Civic Engagement Workshops: Q10 conducts workshops that go beyond voting, educating communities on how to participate in local governance, advocate for their rights, and engage with government representatives effectively. This empowers individuals to be active participants in shaping the policies that affect them.
Encouraging Youth and Underrepresented Voters: Q10 specifically targets groups with historically low voter turnout, such as youth and underrepresented communities. By creating tailored campaigns and youth-led initiatives, Q10 engages these groups early on, fostering a culture of civic responsibility and participation.

Policy influence and advocacy
Strategic Partnerships with Policymakers: Q10 cultivates relationships with policymakers, elected officials, and influential leaders to advocate for policies that advance social equity and justice. This relationship-building ensures that Q10 can provide input and shape policy direction where it’s most needed.
Research-Driven Recommendations: The commission conducts and commissions research to identify pressing community issues and develop evidence-based policy recommendations. By using concrete data, Q10 advocates for informed policies that address community needs holistically and sustainably.
Public Awareness Campaigns: Q10 leverages media, public forums, and educational content to raise awareness about important policy issues, highlighting the impacts on communities and encouraging public support for meaningful policy reform.
Support for Policy Evolution: Rather than creating new policies, Q10’s role is to work alongside legislators and other advocacy groups to refine existing policies. This involves proposing amendments, highlighting community concerns, and offering constructive recommendations that make policies more equitable and inclusive.

Community empowerment
Building Local Leadership: The Q10 Commission aims to equip community members with the skills and knowledge they need to become effective advocates within their own neighborhoods. Through workshops, mentorship programs, and leadership training, Q10 develops individuals who can lead change from within.
Resource Access: Many communities lack access to the information, networks, and resources necessary to advocate effectively. Q10 bridges this gap by providing access to critical tools, legal advice, and strategic consulting, enabling communities to tackle their own challenges with confidence.
Supporting Grassroots Initiatives: The Q10 Commission supports local projects that foster community pride, unity, and resilience. Through grant programs and community investment initiatives, Q10 empowers grassroots organizations to implement projects that make a tangible difference.
Representation in Policy Discussions: By creating pathways for community voices to be heard in policy discussions, Q10 ensures that underrepresented perspectives are included in decision-making processes. This empowers communities to shape policies that directly impact their lives.
