Why we exist.
Every community has a list of issue that never seem to make it onto anyone's agenda. You know the ones - the issues that affect your every day lives but don't generate enough political heat to actually get attention. That's where we come in. At the Community Voices Project we find community leaders like you who are ready to speak up. We help you name your issue, craft your message, and put it in the places where it can move the needle.
Make your voice heard. We're here to help.

About
Community Voices Project exists to make sure all communities have a say.
CVP was started by Kate Barr - longtime advocate for community-centered change-making.
Kate is a behavioral scientist, entrepreneur, and civic advocate based in North Carolina. With more than 20 years of experience in behavioral science and persuasive communication, she has worked across the private, nonprofit, and public sectors to help people and organizations better understand how individuals make decisions and engage with the world around them.
In recent years, Barr has become known for her work on electoral competition and political reform. Her unconventional 2024 campaign for the North Carolina Senate drew attention to the effects of gerrymandering and the challenges facing voters in districts where election outcomes are largely predetermined. She has continued to advocate for competitive elections, accountable government, and greater public participation in the democratic process.
With Community Voices Project, Barr brings together her background in behavioral science, entrepreneurship, and civic engagement to examine and how our systems can better serve communities.
