Does it work?

Citizens have three big levers in American democracy: vote, protest, and write to Congress. Voting comes around every two years, and a protest needs a crowd. Writing works any day of the year, and it is the one lever a single person can pull in 30 seconds.

Hill staff say it moves votes

In Congressional Management Foundation surveys of congressional staff, roughly 90% said individualized messages from constituents have real influence on an undecided member of Congress. Form letters rank far lower, which is why this app drafts a personal message in your words.

Congressional Management Foundation research

Proven in a randomized experiment

When state legislators were randomly assigned to receive a constituent email campaign, the messages had a substantial effect on how they voted on the bill.

12 points more support

A follow-up field experiment found that legislators contacted by their constituents were about 12 percentage points more likely to support the legislation in question.

It is also good for you. Research on civic engagement finds that people who act on their beliefs report higher well-being, and even a single small act of advocacy measurably lifts vitality. Whatever happens next in Washington, you will know you spoke up. Klar and Kasser (2009), Political Psychology
