Taking vs CivicLens

Taking Action We believe simple is better than complex. We believe that less is more. We believe that candidates running for elected office and elected officials should provide: a) A safe place for voters and citizens to be directly connected to the democratic process and governance in general b) A way for politicians and citizens to connect in a meaningful way, creating transparency and accountability. c) Enable voters and citizens to directly access and receive information dynamically, real time in a mobile-friendly and visually appealing way. d) A place where candidates and elected officials can focus on informing and educating voters and citizens in a transparent way with un-curated, unfiltered information. Taking Action App is designed with voters, citizens, elected officials and candidates for elected office in mind. Common problems which Taking Action can solve: - Too much information to memorise and recall from websites and mainstream media (especially when environments change rapidly) - Unable to find that email or message from a candidate or politician - Irrelevant information (spam) resulting in voters and candidates missing the critical need to know information - Unable to keep up with a candidate or elected officials and their changes on positions due to ineffective, legacy communications Key benefits: 1) Visual easy to navigate guide to candidates for office and elected officials. 2) Targeted communications based on current issues and/or events 3) Candidate, politician and issue-based streamlined communications 4) Targeted topical resources which are informative and engaging
