Empower is the place for volunteers to stay connected with organizations and get the latest actions they can take to make change. Volunteers will receive actions they can take, such as reaching out to friends and family, canvassing, or actions they can take on their own. Organizers can also use this app to keep in touch with volunteers. If you are volunteer or organizer and you were directed here by an organization or campaign, you are in the right place! Empower puts relationships at the heart of organizing. Research says talking to people you know is the most effective way to create change. Empower will guide you to make a list of people you know and reach out to them about the issues that matter to you. Empower helps you leverage the power of your personal relationships to use a trusted messenger for your message (you!), reach people who are often left out of traditional outreach tactics, and build real power and a movement that is sustainable beyond the next election.
