About 1000 MORE
In 5 years, young people will say, "How did we learn about legislation that was moving through congress before 1000 MORE? How did we tell our legislators how we wanted them to vote on each bill? How did we crowdfund advocacy efforts on policies?" The next generation won't believe it when we tell them, "We didn't."
Democracy powered by people
1000 MORE is a patented civic technology platform bringing the infrastructure of American democracy into the tech age.
Our democracy was built around a simple idea: people elect representatives to act on their behalf. But the systems we use to participate in that democracy haven't kept pace with the way we live, communicate, organize, and move money today.
We built 1000 MORE to change that.
Leveling the playing field
Constituents are competing for influence in a system where money and access matter. A single voice or a small donation may not carry much weight against a well-funded special interest. But technology can help us act collectively.
The problem isn't that elected officials and their staffs don't care what constituents think. Most people enter public service because they want to serve their communities. But hearing from thousands—or millions—of constituents, understanding what they want, and responding at scale is difficult with the tools available today.
When thousands of us speak together, we're louder than the lobby. When thousands of us pool our dollars, we have greater buying power. And when elected officials have better tools to hear directly from the people they represent, they have better information to help them serve their communities.
That's the opportunity behind 1000 MORE.
Bringing democracy into the tech age
1000 MORE connects the people, organizations, and public servants to make our democracy more democratic.
For constituents, that means being able to understand legislation, see what's happening in government, make your position known, communicate with your representatives, and join with other people to turn individual voices and dollars into collective power.
For elected officials and their staffs, it means a new constituent service tool that makes it easier to hear from the people you represent, understand where they stand on legislation, and engage with them at scale.
For advocacy organizations, it means technology that helps you mobilize supporters to crowdfund the resources needed to advocate effectively.
Each part strengthens the others. Advocacy organizations help people organize. Elected officials get a clearer connection to their constituents. And constituents gain greater access, information, and collective power.
