The Australian Federal election is in its final days, and we have once again provided a candidate data set to allow campaigners to lobby would-be representatives on progressive issues. It just makes so much sense to target politicians when they are listening the most intently.
With the help of our campaigning community, Do Gooder's team curated the data, and supported over 18 campaigns pushing candidates to declare their position on progressive policies before the nation votes.
An additional benefit of this type of civic engagement is the smaller, independent campaigns receive emails from constituents with important data points on their vote impacting areas of interest. This list building normally costs money and the incumbents within the major parties already have voter data and huge lists, so the benefit is heavily weighted to the challengers and independents.
Here are a just a few of the inspiring campaigns ...
ACF - Sign the pledge for climate and nature
AFMH – Vote Your Mind (utilises our Map UI)
AMCS – Vote for climate and nature
Amnesty International – Email your candidate (utilises Stance Segmentation)
APAN - People's Pledge for Palestine
BioDiversity Council – Nature needs a fair go this election
Birdlife - Make birds heard in your electorate! (utilises our Map UI)
Climate Council – Take the pledge to vote for climate
Home Time - Take action for young people this election
MEAA - Raise Our Voices
