1000 MORE is a nonpartisan app dismantling barriers to civic participation and crowdfunding advocacy on bills moving through congress. See every bill that federal elected official in the U.S. are about to vote on and take action. The legislation tracker has summaries of bills written at a third-grade level because 54% of American adults read below a 6th grade level. Each bill has the same action options whether you are for or against the legislation: three options to contact your elected officials, with a script in case you're nervous about what to say, and an option to crowdfund advocacy. This tool helps elected officials keep their finger on the pulse of public opinion in their constituency.
