Problem

Messages that matter get lost in the noise

Local governments are at their best when they get public input on their decisions—but getting good input is harder than it seems.

Local leaders often spend hours and hours circulating one-off surveys to parents and students or hosting public meetings that attract low attendance.


So, they often end up with single snapshots of information that are unrepresentative of the families who need the most support.

“There’s a disconnect between us and our target population. Email is passé, it’s over used, they don’t read it. Is that the right medium? Probably not.”

Even worse, opening up for public input now often becomes shouting matches over issues leaders can’t control.

What if there was a platform that could solve this problem?
