IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Grassroots Organizing, Advocacy, and Lobbying:When supporters recruited through our digital program are ready to take action, RepresentUs brings them into our national digital volunteer network, hosted on the web platform Discord. Discord enables activists to communicate with one another and learn about the policies and politics of the reform field. This national community provides online trainings and skills-building workshops, including traditional organizing skills like phone banking, event planning, and writing letters to the editor. RU also offers opportunities for activists to learn new media content development, SMS text-banking, online fundraising, and the steps involved in passing a non-binding resolution in their own community. This platform facilitates invaluable connections between activists, organizers, and leaders. It provides opportunities for volunteers to become leaders. More than 3,500 volunteers activists joined the community in 2018.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0National ConveningsIn 2018, RepresentUs launched the inaugural Unrig the System Summit in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Summit was a three-day, solutions-oriented gathering of democracy reform groups, academics, activists, journalists, nonprofit leaders, tech innovators, and elected officials who came together to develop post-partisan policy solutions for the most pressing democratic reform issues facing our nation. Later in the year, we convened and connected experts and in-state advocates to both bolster current campaigns and strengthen the foundation for effective redistricting and public financing reforms.
