---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Rosie Hoberg <rosie at getcouragenow.org> Date: Fri, Sep 18, 2020 at 5:24 PM Subject: Tech talent question re preventing fascist coup/saving planet We are writing to you in the hopes you might know of any talented/senior level techies or design talent who have a strong activist bent and might want to work with one of the best engineers and security architects around, PT ok, for this very special urgently needed project. It’s called GetCourageNow and in the opinion of over 20 top organizers <https://www.getcouragenow.org/reviews>could be the most valuable and urgently needed social change tool of 2020 and 2021 - a tool that could save us from a right wing fascist coup this Nov, Dec or January, and fight for crucial climate, social, and economic justice. More job details at the end. We are a small, nonprofit, devoted activist tech team who for the past 4 years has worked hard to create this new concept activist recruitment and commitment tool to solve what many organizers call the mother of all organizing challenges. <http://bit.ly/MotherOfAllChallenges> We believe this is the first fear-minimizing, courage-unleashing ladder of engagement and real time communication platform to enable grassroots campaigns using nonviolent civil resistance (NVCR) strategies to rapidly recruit and organize the massive numbers they need to have at least a 70-80% chance of success. We are called GetCourageNow and our mission in three words is to scale moral courage, fast enough to save democracy, end grotesque wealth inequality, and save Mother Nature before it’s too late. GetCourageNow, which would be white-label integrated into the “take-action” tabs of grassroots campaigns, fills a critical gap ignored by campaign tech such as ActionNetwork, and Mobilize, and is based on what social change history has repeatedly shown <https://wendygetcouragenoworg-dot-mymailmeteor.appspot.com/-M6Vfyy5UYbB7W3tJSLC/-M6Vg-fcG-D2Pu5IRcSe?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FEricaChenoweth> has the best track record of success in overthrowing fascist regimes (as well as fighting social, environmental, economic injustices) - ie., needing 2-3% of the population to be involved in nonviolent civil resistance. Such a tool could play a pivotal urgently needed role relevant to the upcoming November-Inauguration day period, and this is underscored by the recent anti-coup research George Lakey article on how democracies successfully thwart rightwing coups <http://bit.ly/CoupThwart2>. GetCourageNow is based on the simple hypothesis that if you seamlessly and securely combine five free, already proven recruitment motivators into one mobile-friendly place, this will increase recruitment metrics for courageous actions, resulting in a cumulative and possibly synergistic effect. You can find out more and see our demo and more in the links below: 1. Check out our website <https://www.getcouragenow.org/> 2. Our one pager <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SwS86WxJJVX8XKAVUHV1ozvvgo2bkMt3960N6TAu1VM/edit>, reflecting almost four years of R&D. 3. Our PPT and two part animation plus 10 min video demo <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/14JneMocZr1DrocjcwEWLXyOO1P4sOkrHiOxUWJG8wF8/edit> (on slide 5). 4. Reviews <https://www.getcouragenow.org/reviews> from more than 20 top organizers in the US, including Dolores Huerta and Wade Rathke (founder of ACORN). After much R&D, user interviews, coding, and reviews, we are now entering the beta testing phase of development. If you like what we are doing in the hopes of solving the recruitment and commitment challenges for nonviolent mass civil resistance strategos, and you are in touch with talented current students or alumni, we are currently looking for support in the following (ideally donated the first month, otherwise basic living expenses possible): 1. Golang senior level engineer 2. Flutter frontend developer 3. UI or UX design talent (consultant help might suffice) Other non tech talent needs: 1. Social media talent or anyone with micro-influencer contacts to help us crowdfund the remaining funds we need to finish and then beta test our app (remote position, part-time) 2. Courageous campaigns who would love to be considered for our beta test (we'll even have funding for the campaign(s) to hire their own additional volunteer coordinator) 3. Anyone with connections to higher ups in any of the major organizations now working to safeguard the upcoming election and/or to protect the Republic from a rightwing coup We realize that many might think that it might be too late for our new tech breakthrough to be used to safeguard the election, prevent a 12th Amendment scenario, or even prevent a coup in late November, December, or January. Here are five reasons why this hopefully is not the case <https://docs.google.com/document/d/19ADwjYz8Qa1QqJ8nkKlp6o3oaoq9kOlffHw0CPstevw/edit?usp=sharing> . We would love to hear your thoughts on any of the above. We cherish criticism.
