Hi Everyone, Mark Hanis '05 is looking for Swat students to help him build ActionMap, a service designed to encourage civic engagement on progressive issues. More information on ActionMap is below. If this interests you, I encourage you to contact Mark at MarkHanis at gmail.com. - David ----------------------------------------------------- * *Deck*: www.ActionMap.us <http://www.actionmap.us/> * *Bio*: I am a Swarthmore Alum (I came in with the Class of 2004 but took a semester off and graduated with 2005).

See more here <http://bulletin.swarthmore.edu/bulletin-issue-archive/archive_p=308.html>. Since Election Day, we are looking to make a multi-issue, multi-level of policymaking, multi-sector platform to ensure centralized, personalized, and timely action. * *Blurb*: A Kayak/Expedia/Orbitz for civic engagement whereby any user can seamlessly: 1) advocate on multiple issues to policymakers at the city, county, state, and federal levels; 2) support candidates up and down the ballot; 3) register to vote and canvass to help others register; 4) engage the private sector to support the relevant issues; and 5) empower the user with skill-building and community-building opportunities. * *Looking for*: Students interested in progressive action/advocacy/activism who have some technical skills and help build a Minimal Viable Product (MVP) of Action Map. * *One-Pager*: https://goo.gl/odzbDW ** Technical specifications*: - Action Map - Technical Specifications - Mobile Application http://bit.ly/2ulLExf Including help with User Experience (UX): http://bit.ly/2k6208L - Action Map - Technical Specifications - Website / Map http://bit.ly/2vnBO2d - Action Map - Technical Specifications - Database of Calls-to-Action (CTAs) http://bit.ly/2fdnkvy * *Prototype*: - The "*Unleesh*" app is available on the both the Apple App Store <https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/unleesh/id739013352?mt=8> and the Android Google Play Store <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkimpact.unleesh>.
