for NextGen Organizing/Mobilizing Movement Platform to end fascist regimes and stop the ecocide
WHO WE ARE:
TINY team, with a founder who has raised over $1.8Million for progressive projects over his lifetime, done 4 startups and many PBS investigative documentary specials, winning many national and international awards in both spaces. He has also been an organizer for many years, and a nonviolent resistance scientist/inventor since 2018, and is a PhD psychologist (Harvard/UC Berkeley). We are based in Philly and NYC.
The PROJECT: 3 game changer progressive web apps on one NextGen organizing/ mobilizing movement platform
These tools are the three most essential for achieving the historically best proven by far strategy to overthrow fascist regimes, specifically to be able to catalyze moral courage at scale, enable 1000 activist hearted low wage workers stuck in meaningless jobs to have a much faster way than GoFundMe to become organizers , and for millions of strikers to sustain the long-term nonviolent resistance essential to ending fascist regimes and end the ecocide of our planet. Two of the tools are called AdoptAnOrganizer & MAMA! (MutualAid for MassActions).One pagers for both: bit.ly/AAO1p & bit.ly/MAMAnow. Here are 2 sentence summaries for all three are as follows;
AdoptAnOrganizer: Will be a progressive web app with at least two major advantages over GoFundMe to be enable possibly thousands to more rapidly get what they need housing-wise and other basic needs-wise to be able to leave their unfulfilling jobs and instead follow their passions to become organizers to correct the worst injustices that afflict America and the planet at this time.
MAMA! (Mutual Aid for Mass Actions): Will be a progressive web app that will help cover rent, mortgage, and health insurance payments for long-term strikers or long-term jailed activists.
Both apps will be on a platform since both share a significant amount of same data.
The WiseCourage Ladder of Engagement: A behavioral economics (choice architecture) inspired innovative ladder of engagement free and simple to integrate into any campaign site or social media proven to be able to catalyze moral courage at scale, thereby exponentially increasing NVDA resister recruitment rates.
