The Case For Automating Advocacy Assistance

Having direct access to advocacy support without being in a political organizing group has been rare. Today that’s changed and there’s opportunity for the average person to get organized advocacy assistance; without a political group membership. Designing the right tools for advancing advocacy assistance has always been our objective. Yes big tech and little tech have tried to enter the constituent service market. Neither could get a domineering hold on this sector. Independence is very important to us in this demographic group. Independence includes ownership and control for our population. Mutual agreements, cooperation and collaboration is the next level for us. Most of us realize that managing citizen input without bias and indifference can be impossible. To surmount as much of this problem of biasness as currently possible we had to do some redesign work. We’ve been forced to reimagine our relationship to our leadership and advocates. There comes a time when redesign is the only reasonable option. When what we have, does not fit what we need, it’s time to consider redesign. Facing the hard truth and then making change is never easy. Even though we know this truth from past experience, it never feels easy at first. What we’re saying today is that the 1st party claim has measurable value. It’s never really an easy time to make the needed changes to improve our behaviors; yet throughout life we often must make the difficult changes. In this case the change is putting better organized problem-solving and advocacy assistance in place. Having each of us equipped to exchange and review 1st party feedback help's us. We want everyone to have access to getting advocacy support with a phone call or an email. Our mission is ushering in a more automated and reliable service dedicated to providing advocacy assistance. That assistance starts at the time that 1st party input is received at [email protected] (24/7/365).

The practice of putting equal focus on the 1st party input is the cornerstone of changing our relationships to advocates and problem solvers. We’re focusing on when and how those taking the lead on the frontend get in place. A central piece of building differently includes the mutual agreement to have exchange as a principle. We’ve learned that by creating operating rules that respect the 1st party input of all; we inspire stronger engagement.
