Democracy.com | New York, NY | CTO | Full-time | Onsite
Democracy.com is a marketplace platform designed to connect citizens with candidates, elected officials and issue organizations.
More than ever, citizens across the ideological spectrum are engaging, organizing and making their voices heard on the issues and elections that matter to them. But there’s a problem. The number one reason people give for not getting involved in an issue or election is that it’s too hard to find out what they can do that will actually make a difference.
Democracy.com solves this problem by making it incredibly easy for citizens to find the right action to take any issue or election.
