CitizenSpeak is a free email advocacy service for grassroots organizations (or, really, judging from current campaigns, also for individuals with a passion for a particular cause) that allows you to create a unique web address for your campaign, which you can then email as a link to your list of supporters. Obviously, you might have the ability to do some of these functions through your own agency website. But, if you’re a very small organization without much independent website capacity (like a neighborhood organization or a group of parents or a youth group) or, conversely, a very large, bureaucratic organization where getting approval to make a change to the agency’s website is an advocacy campaign in itself, then CitizenSpeak could be very helpful to you. Some of the features that I particularly like:
I’d love to hear from anyone who has used CitizenSpeak for advocacy, to get your take on it. And I’ll be expecting some emails from some of you, too!
