The Community Action Project, LLC (TCAP) is a progressive media organization dedicated to developing training materials that teach skills for being politically active. They are headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, and their passion is to serve progressives at the grassroots level of politics. TCAP recently completed its initial DVD project entitled, "Door-to-Door Canvassing: Engaging the Grassroots." The DVD was developed to help inspire activists, teach new canvassers the basics of door-to-door contact, and move the power of politics away from money and back into the hands of the people.
