Would you be interested in covering this story? Let me know and I can give you more details upon request and even take you on a tour of the platform next week before it goes live to the public. ur startup has built a new social activism platform that gives people the power to influence government: Amplifyd is a crowdsourced lobbying platform where people can support causes in their community and in return get a personal representative that will call and lobby their elected officials on their behalf. Each campaign is managed by non-profits fighting for important causes, giving these organizations an additional way to mobilize their communities and generate active and passive incomes. And, anyone can sign up to become a crowdsourced caller, getting paid to lobby elected officials for others. This is especially great for college students, post-grads, activists, hourly or part-time employees needing an additional source of income and avid travelers, since people can make calls through our platform from anywhere.

Amplifyd is a crowdsourced marketplace to help people amplify their opinions on public policy by having someone else email, call and lobby on their behalf. Sign up to support a cause in your community, become a lobbyist and make calls for others, or start campaign and generate revenue for your activist organization.

We got notice that Indiegogo has disbursed the funds today and Raymond Loo's campaign is now really over with the goal of $12,000 fully realized. This work is not easy. It is not as simple as filling in the blanks...
Beth Kanter's insight:
It's ALL about the inner network - People like Raymond have a small group of people who are close to him who love him and in turn have their own network. Think of petals on a flower. Their networks branch out - they touch each other but are largely different. The key is to know these people and to work with them well before you launch. Bring them into the planning. THEY do most of the lifting. And it they who you have to pay a lot of attention.
