  • Election Protection Smartphone App: An Innovative Funding Opportunity

    Tue, 28 Feb 2012
    Please join our call for collective action!  Learn more about the Election Protection Smartphone App, a smartphone app that has been designed by a diverse group of partners who have a long history of working in and with communities of color.  The Election Integrity Action Circle is committed to ensuring that the 2012 election cycle includes all citizens, no matter what race, class, or gender, and that all are equally enfranchised.  We will hear from Eric Marshall, Manager of Legal Mobilization at the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights and Amanda Brown, Director of Development at Rock the Vote, why this smartphone app is an innovative election protection tool.  

    According to current research by The Pew Center on the States more people are turning to the Internet to get information about the general elections. And, according to Nielsen, communities of color have a high rate of ownership and usage of smartphones. The smartphone app is designed to, among other things, find polling places, verify registration, get help registering in this era of increasing barriers, access voting rights FAQs, add key election dates to your calendar, and get answers to all your voting questions.  It's knowledge in the palm of your hand and it will be available in English and Spanish. 

    This is an exciting investment and learning opportunity that you don't want to miss!
