What is Hear America?

Many of you may have already heard from us regarding our 2026 Community Survey. If you’ve participated, THANK YOU! 

If you haven’t and are wondering what this is all about, let me fill you in. Our community survey is part of a nationwide effort to have real conversations to bring people together across political and social divides to discuss community challenges, rising costs, and shared political frustrations. 

Our community survey helps WV Citizen Action ensure our work aligns with the priorities of our state and individual communities. For over 50 years, WV CAG has fought for everyday West Virginians, and we want to continue that mission for the next 50 years.

If you would like to take our 2026 Community Survey or participate by having these conversations with people in your community, please go to https://wvcag.org/join-the-hear-america-campaign/ and fill out the contact form.  One of our organizers will contact you.

Our goal is to have 6k conversations by the end of the year. We can’t do this without you!
