VotingSmarter is a civic tech nonprofit. We are founded on the idea that in order to fight voter apathy, political corruption, misinformation and paralyzing partisanship we must address the incentives that cause them.
We started getting informed for their 2020 election fair, fast and fun with our "Dating App for Elections". Based on data from 135 volunteers who did 4000 hours of research we were able to match thousands of voters to candidates based on the issues rather than political party or immutable characteristics like race, age, or gender identity.
Since the 2020 election, we’ve been trying to use technology to fight the political corruption created by large corporate donations and lobbying. We launched a Chrome extension to matches shoppers to the companies that donate to candidates that share their political values. Based on that beta test we have entered into a partnership with shoppyist.com to be their political data provider and help match shoppers AND voters to the candidates and brands that share their values. Data gathering and processing is expensive, if you want to help give real political power back to regular people and help insure our government works for ALL the people, please support us today! And go to shoppyist.com to shop your values!
