Your voice matters. Pinpoint puts your elected officials at your fingertips and makes contacting them as easy as sending a text. FIND YOUR REPRESENTATIVES Enter your location and instantly see your local, state, and federal elected officials โ city council members, state legislators, US senators, and House representatives โ with verified contact details. SEND REAL EMAILS, TRACKED Compose a message to any representative directly in the app. Pinpoint relays it through a secure email relay so you don't have to share your personal inbox. Then watch live: you'll see when your message is sent, delivered, and opened โ and you can mark it when you get a reply. BACK COMMUNITY ISSUES ON THE PINBOARD Browse civic issues raised by people in your community. Back the ones that matter to you. When enough people back an issue and contact their representatives, it reaches "Win" status โ a public record that your community made a difference. JOIN A POSSE Every Pinboard issue has its own Posse โ a group chat where neighbors coordinate, share updates, and plan next steps. Posses are moderated by community members and gated so only verified users can post. TRACK YOUR CIVIC FOOTPRINT A personal map shows the congressional districts you've explored. Your outreach history keeps a record of every representative you've contacted and every issue you've backed. YOUR PRIVACY, RESPECTED Pinpoint collects only what it needs to work. No advertising. No data sold. No tracking across apps. Full privacy policy at anappidea.llc/legal/pinpoint/privacy. Pinpoint is built and maintained by An App Idea LLC. Civic data is provided by OpenStates and is not guaranteed to be current โ always verify official information directly with government sources.
