Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for providing an online platform that enables an organization to provide information to interested individuals are described. The organization requests individuals to contact elected officials to express support, rejections or comments for specific issues. The online platform determines an advocate's elected official(s) and facilitates a communication connection between the advocate and an elected official(s). Geocoding is performed using the individual's street address and zip code to obtain geographical coordinates, and the coordinates are geomatched to district matching databases to determine the individual's elected officials. The individual selects a preferred method of connecting, and the platform enables and facilitates the connection. Further, the platform tracks and analyzes actions taken by advocates, provides analytical data about advocacy campaigns initiated by organizations, and also rates advocates based on the actions taken and the method by which the actions were taken to advocate for issues.
