What CENTER FOR COMMUNITY CHANGE ACTION's influence footprint shows
CENTER FOR COMMUNITY CHANGE ACTION is an outside-spending committee: rather than contributing to candidates' committees, it reported $2.6M in independent expenditures to the Federal Election Commission - $2.5M advocating for candidates and $100K opposing them, across 27 races. By law these expenditures are made independently of, and uncoordinated with, any campaign, and they are not subject to contribution limits, which is how a single committee can deploy this scale of money. They are reported here separately from contributions because they are a fundamentally different mechanism of political influence.
Its lobbying profile spans 2 reporting years across 5 distinct LDA issue areas, with emphasis on Budget/Appropriations, Taxation/Internal Revenue Code, Family issues/Abortion/Adoption.
