Grassroots Router Kickoff and other Projects
April 3, 2017
It’s finally April, everyone! A lot of up-coming events this month and this week! First, we would like to highlight a new project: Grassroots Router
Grassroots Router
The Grassroots Router is a two level network calling tool and campaign template intended to amplify signal and reduce noise and to direct national energy to strategic targets. It breaks down grassroots calling campaigns into two parts:
First, a target district is identified and voter files and donor data is used to build a list of “active citizens” in that target district.
Second, callers from outside the district and around the country use the tool to call the targeted “active citizens” to ask them to call their representatives with the desired message.
