Advocacy App Launches on Kickstarter, Answering The Need For An Organizational Tool For Advocacy

    PROVIDENCE, RI, February 17, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/728559859/advocacy-app

Lauren Vunderink, an entrepreneur and clean energy professional based in Providence, Rhode Island, is creating the app. She explains: "It's clear that advocacy needs to be more accessible and sustainable for people, especially given the recent surge in desire for political engagement. Since participation is the backbone of our democracy, I'm eager to provide a tool that empowers people to connect with their representatives on the issues that matter most to them."

The Advocacy App will provide users with a news feed of Action Alerts from advocacy organizations they choose to follow. The app is nonpartisan and currently includes 136 different advocacy groups, organized into 27 different categories. For example, some of the categories are: Animal Rights and Welfare, Civil and Human Rights, Criminal Justice, Environment, General Liberal Groups, General Conservative Groups, Government Oversight, Gun Policy, Immigration, Public Health, and Women's Rights.

The Advocacy App also includes a "My Representatives" section that makes it easy for users to find and connect with their elected representatives. This is a crucial tool for making sure people's voices are heard on a local, state, and national level.

The Kickstarter ends Friday, March 10th; all contributions should be made ASAP. Your support is greatly appreciated!
