Empower Project

$685,000 Raised | Fundraising Goal Achieved!
Empower has introduced an innovative digital promotion and micro-payment scheme that significantly enhances relational organizing—the gold standard in text communications. This approach enables Empower to achieve remarkable scalability that dramatically surpasses previous organizing efforts in this space. For every $100,000 invested, Empower generates on average 50,000 additional relational conversations in Presidential battlegrounds. This pay for action program recruits individuals to message their friends, family, and colleagues about the importance of voting in this election cycle. With the inundation of TV ads, mailers, texts, digital ads, and more in battleground states ($15B total spend estimated for the 2024 election), this is a tactic that can break through the noise and create a real impact in the presidential race.

AZ Corporation Commissioner Candidates

$15,300 Raised | Fundraising Goal Achieved!
After our trip to Arizona we are jazzed up about the Arizona Corporation Commission races. We hope you will join us in supporting all three candidates. Candidates Ylenia Aguilar and Jonathan Hill are limited in their total fundraising as they are accessing a state pool of funds for their campaign. They need $210 contributions from seed donors like you to access those state funds. Joshua Polacheck’s campaign has no limits and is the main vehicle for hard-side investments focused on flipping the Arizona Corporation Commission which regulates Arizona’s utilities. We urge you to send $210 to each of these candidates now.
