The mission of Empower DC is to enhance, improve and promote the self-advocacy of low and moderate income DC residents in order to bring about sustained improvements in their quality of life. We accomplish our mission through grassroots organizing and trainings, leadership development, and community education.
Empower DC is a citywide, multi-issue, membership-based community organizing project. Empower DC builds campaigns to address key issues that directly-impact our membership. The organization is led by its membership, Board of Directors and staff.
Empower DC was founded in late 2003 by current Executive Director, Parisa Norouzi, and Linda Leaks, two life-long community organizers who saw a need for an organization to support low and moderate income District residents in raising our voices and building our collective political power. We have developed a reputation as one of the most effective grassroots advocacy organizations in the District of Columbia, working on issues such as affordable housing, quality affordable child care, preserving public property, and improving public education. Empower DC is a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Since our founding, our annual budget has grown to approximately $350,000.
