IssueVoter

How it works: IssueVoter makes information accessible and actionable with customized alerts *before* Congress votes, and translates bills into layman’s terms with points from *both* sides. It is the only platform that provides a personalized representative scorecard , helping individuals keep politicians accountable and become more informed voters at the next election. Impact: IssueVoter has sent over three million alerts to individuals and opinions back to Congress from individuals across all 435 Congressional Districts and D.C. As a direct result, 37% of people using IssueVoter cited IssueVoter as the reason they voted in the first place. In other words, they wouldn’t have voted without IssueVoter. IssueVoter drives voter turnout. Plus, 74% were exposed to new viewpoints, 83% were inspired to take additional forms of civic action, and 89% learned about new issues for the first time. COVID Context: With 1,000+ coronavirus-related bills in Congress, each of which is competing for attention from news headlines and social media, it is more important than ever to give all Americans access to succinct, powerful information so they can make their voices heard.
