Smart overview of the Invention

The 1000 MORE system is a digital political marketplace designed to enhance civic engagement among constituents, advocacy organizations, and elected officials. It centralizes information about upcoming legislative votes, elected representatives, and advocacy efforts, enabling users to take action through calls, emails, social media, and crowdfunding. The platform tailors information to users' interests, helping them engage effectively with candidates and officials.

Addressing Civic Engagement Barriers

Many Americans face challenges in accessing concise and non-partisan information about political matters. Despite the prevalence of news and social media, individuals often struggle to identify their representatives or understand how to communicate with them. This system aims to remove these barriers by providing straightforward guidance on contacting elected officials and supporting advocacy efforts.

Facilitating Political Education

The platform offers summaries of pending legislation along with arguments for and against each bill. Users can express their stance on these bills and choose from various engagement options such as contacting officials or donating to advocacy organizations. This feature empowers users to make informed decisions and actively participate in the political process.

Personalized Voter Guides

As users interact with the platform, they accumulate points that contribute to a civic engagement score. The system analyzes users' political preferences and provides tailored recommendations for candidates who align with their views. It can also generate hyper-personalized sample ballots for users to bring to the polls, enhancing their voting experience.

Interfaces for Advocacy Organizations and Elected Officials

The 1000 MORE system includes dedicated interfaces for advocacy organizations and elected officials. Organizations can track their fundraising efforts related to specific legislation, while officials can monitor real-time feedback from constituents regarding their positions on bills. This comprehensive approach fosters transparency and communication between all parties involved in the political process.
