Researcher then Outreach Director

WinWisely™ Kickstarter+Social Rewards+Peer-Peer Bonding meets Movement Organizing The initial research task is to find all state Senate candidates in 4-6 states including Montana, Indiana, West Va, and one other who are either Dems within 4-5 points of flipping a GOP incumbent or are a vulnerable Dem incumbent in danger of losing to a GOP challenger. For each candidate we need 6 pieces of info in an xls or google sheet: their platform (key issues with their positions on each), why they can win, their bio, major cities in their district, and endorsing orgs. The WinWisely app aims to revolutionize movement organizing by enabling organizations to recruit far larger numbers of volunteers than ever before, far more quickly and to better manage them, and support and reward them far more effectively. WinWisely does this with three major innovations: 1. Crowdacting: Think “Kickstarter meets movement organizing.” By giving users the option of how many others need to be involved ([login to view URL] canvassers, direct action resisters, phonebankers, etc) before they get involved, the app gives the user control over their level of risk 2. An innovative support and rewards system: Supporters unwilling or unable to canvass, call, or resist can support by offering childcare, housing, dinner invitations, etc. 3. Creating and fostering Peer-to-Peer Connections: The app encourages the formation of local connections to strengthen and engage activist communities If the job is done well and fast, we would offer a major part-time gig as outreach director (described at bit ly/WinWiselyCofounderOutreach)
