Audience Profiles
To improve our network’s content creation and distribution efforts, Culture Surge compiles and translates research on key audiences. Our focus for the 2020 election is on mobilizing Black, Indigenous, communities of color, young/first-time voters, and women, particularly in Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina. To that end, we have compiled this brief with more information about these key audiences.
