— Blocks & support

Grassroots canvassing support map — where your movement has strength, block by block.

Polygon a neighborhood or a coalition footprint and watch support build as organizers walk it — strong-support blocks turn dark, undecided blocks stay light, and opposition shows up as a flag. It's the map you bring to the elected official's office.

Block 1100 Maple 87 residents · 71% strong support

— The platform

Community organizing canvassing app — lead organizer and block organizer on the same record.

No clipboard surveys piling up unread, and no coalition partner working off a different spreadsheet — every listening conversation writes to the same record the lead organizer sees on the support map.

/01 — DESK

Organizer console

Cut blocks and neighborhoods, build issue surveys, and assign organizers as the support map fills in — the dashboard the lead organizer runs the campaign from.

Resident list import + per-contact language tag

Live support map & activity feed

/02 — DOOR

Grassroots canvassing app for block organizers

The mobile side of the platform, with the listening list, resident screen, multilingual conversation guide, and sync queue all running on a block organizer's phone. Anything captured without cell signal is held locally and synced when the connection returns.

/03 — MAP

Live support tracking

Each listening session updates the map as it happens, so support level by block, top issues by neighborhood, language reach, and coalition-partner contributions are all visible on the dashboard for funder reports and elected-official briefings.

Top issues + emerging themes by neighborhood

— Multilingual

Multilingual community organizing — the conversation in the language they speak at home.

Tag every resident with their preferred language and the next organizer who knocks gets the survey, the script, and the issue framing in Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Korean, Arabic, or any of the 12 supported languages. Communities that used to get skipped because nobody on the volunteer crew spoke Spanish — those communities don't get skipped anymore.

12 languages supported EN · ES · ZH · VI · KO · AR · and more
Per-contact language tag Set once, persists across visits
Survey translation Question text in resident's language

— How a campaign runs

Community organizing from listening session to advocacy in four steps.

It's the same loop whether you're surveying 200 residents on a single block or running a coalition campaign across an entire ward.

/01

Cut the footprint

Polygon blocks, neighborhoods, and coalition territories, and the resident list inside becomes a listening list — per-block quotas keep coverage balanced across coalition partners.

/02

Build the issue survey

Build a custom survey with the questions that matter to your campaign — it translates into the languages your community speaks, and organizers see the prompt in the resident's preferred language.

/03

Listen and tag

Block organizers run the resident screen, capturing issue priorities, support level, and willingness to act — all offline-safe so it queues for sync the moment signal comes back.

/04

Map & report

The support map updates live and top issues bubble up by neighborhood — with a one-click grant report for funders and a one-click constituency map for the city-council meeting.

— Campaign types

Community organizing canvassing for every campaign — same data model, different fight.

An issue-identification listening tour and a get-out-the-meeting push for a city-council vote aren't the same job, so the platform configures around what each campaign is trying to accomplish.

Issue identification

Issue identification listening tours.

Before the campaign has a target, you need to know what residents actually care about — open-ended issue capture, top-of-mind tracking, and demographic cross-tabs form the foundation under everything that comes next.

Captures: Top Issue · Concern · Demographic · Willingness to Act

SURVEYOpen-ended issue capture per resident
THEMESAuto-grouped top issues by neighborhood
DEMODemographic cross-tabs for grant reporting
BUILDWillingness-to-act flag for activist recruitment

Constituency building

Constituency building and coalition expansion.

When the issue is clear, the work is finding the residents who care enough to act — support level tagging, contact ladder progression, and recruitment to neighborhood meetings and core teams.

Captures: Strong · Leaning · Undecided · Will Volunteer · Core Team

LADDERTrack resident progression up the contact ladder
RECRUITTag interest in meetings, training, leadership
COALITIONPartner orgs see shared resident records
SMSWebhook to CampaignCNX+ for meeting reminders

Advocacy push

Advocacy push — get-out-the-meeting and direct action.

When the council votes Tuesday, you need 200 residents in the chamber Monday night — targeted door knocks, ride coordination, attendance tracking, and follow-up the day after.

Captures: Committed · Needs Ride · Attended · Will Speak

TURNGet-out-the-meeting walks the supportive list
RIDERide needs flagged for transportation team
ATTENDSign-in cross-check after the meeting
NEXTFollow-up on commitment to next action

— Organizer FAQ

Community organizing canvassing app FAQ — what lead organizers ask before they sign.

/Q — LANGUAGES

How does multilingual canvassing work?

Tag each resident with a preferred language and the conversation guide and survey questions appear in that language for the organizer at the door. 12 languages are supported, including Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Korean, and Arabic.

/Q — COALITION

Can multiple orgs share data?

Yes — coalition partners can share resident records, see contributions by partner, and coordinate without duplicating door knocks. Each partner sees their own assignments plus the shared coalition view.

/Q — PRICING

Per organizer?

No — pricing is by the size of the resident contact universe, not organizer count, so bring 5 paid organizers or 200 volunteers for the same price. There are six tiers, from Starter at $59 (2,500 contacts) up to Enterprise at $599 (250K+).

/Q — REPORTING

What about grant reporting?

One-click impact PDFs by neighborhood, demographic, language reached, top issues, and dates — funders get the breakdown they need without your team spending two weeks in spreadsheets the month after a campaign closes.

/Q — OFFLINE

Apartment buildings? Rural towns?

The mobile app keeps working without cell signal — listening sessions save to the phone and sync when signal returns, so no organizer ever loses a survey response because they walked into a stairwell or down a side road.

/Q — SETUP

How fast can a campaign launch?

Most campaigns are listening inside three days — same-day account, with the footprint polygon drawn during onboarding and organizers downloading the app the same afternoon. White-glove onboarding runs $249–$999 for coalition launches.
