Poliforum's mission is to democratize politics by providing a dynamic platform where citizens engage, connect, and participate in shaping the future of their communities. We do this using these five key features: Reviews - Rate and review elected officials out of 5-stars and by offering helpful feedback on their performance. Share your perspective on how your representative is doing in office. Forum - Join a Forum for a specific topic and present research, critiques and editorials on proposed bills or policies. Develop an ongoing discussion with other citizens and representatives within the context of specific issues. Stories - Create a multimodal channel of compelling analyses on current events. Stories are ongoing essays using text, video, high quality formatting, buttons, polls, drop downs that all integrate into Poliforum's Reviews, Forums, Elections and Actions. Events - Learn about upcoming events or elections by sharing your research on candidates, policy platforms, performance reviews, surveys and anything else you wish to bring to the public for ongoing debate going into election season. Actions - Take all this work to the next level by creating assemblies, polls, petitions, surveys and more in collaboration with other groups like think-tanks, academic institutions, legal firms, media companies and advocacy groups. Join Poliforum to learn, connect and participate in your democracy to help build a positive vision for the future.
