Our Values

We strengthen power in communities.

The Nebraska Table works to ensure the communities are connected and engaged with key issues and organizing year-round. Civic engagement goes beyond voting through involvement with local community and facilitation of deeper community connections. Collaboration and partnership with organizations, individuals, communities, and key stakeholders throughout Nebraska helps to grow civic engagement, build movements, and create power in our democracy. The Table works to build and facilitate power for folks who have been politically marginalized or disenfranchised.

We make sure that voices can be and are heard.

The Table, its work, and its member organizations are inclusive and focused on equity. The Table seeks to ensure that its work is reflective of the voices of the communities they serve, focused on lived experiences, and engaged alongside the members, individuals, and communities that the Table serves. Change can happen from the bottom up.

We are building for the future.

The Table considers long-term impact, planning not just for now, but setting the foundation for the future. Sustainability of the work helps to ensure that the Table and its programs continue, while also being nimble and flexible to our changing state. Resources are utilized responsibly for the best results.
