It’s a numbers game.
GetCourageNow's innovative and free organizing tools help mobilize the numbers needed to win successful electoral campaigns and non-violent mass civil resistance campaigns as well.
History has repeatedly shown that the most significant advances in human rights in America since the Civil War and in many other nations have almost always required the combination of massive electoral organizing to elect the right people AND mass non-violent resistance (NVR).
But catalyzing that power has rarely been possible.
Until now.
That is why GetCourageNow was created—to unlock and catalyze moral courage in millions.
How? Our first tool, WiseCourage, developed for NVR strategy-based campaigns, combines several proven fear-minimizing behavioral economics levers into a one-stop free & easy to use new concept ladder of engagement tool that can be integrated into any campaign's website, social media CTA, or orientation meeting, and has been repeatedly proven to more than double and potentially exponentially multiply resister recruitment needs. Here is the 10 min video demo of how the WiseCourage innovative Ladder of engagement works to catalyze moral courage at scale.
AdoptAnOrganizer (AAO): Will be an innovative progressive web app, one of three on our NextGen movement organizing/mobilizing platform, with at least three major advantages over GoFundMe (e.g. by enabling supporters to donate free housing) to unleash 500-1000 additional aspiring organizers hopefully by late summer. AAO will enable wage laborers to far more easily and rapidly get what they need housing-wise and other basic needs-wise to be able to leave their unfulfilling jobs and instead follow their passions to become organizers to correct the worst injustices that afflict America and the planet at this time and by November, help ensure free and fair elections in the critical US Senate race states, and then afterwards start to bring real democracy to America, economically as well as politically, end the oligarchy, tax the rich and stop America’s role in hastening the planet’s already rapid trajectory to ecocide.
MAMA! (Mutual Aid for Mass Actions): Will be the second progressive web app in the above mentioned NextGen movement platform, whose mission will be to help cover rent, mortgage, and health insurance payments for long-term strikers or long-term jailed activists to enable a National Nonviolent Civic Uprising and Social Strike (NNCUSS) if the November elections fail to get Democratic Control of Congress and a speedy impeachment of Trump, or even with such control Democrats continue to bow to WallStreet, the MIIC, BigHealth, BigOil, and big Pharma. For how these tools fit into an overall strategy to achieve a NNCUSS, please see our Our-Mission page for a 17min video PPT: The Feasibility Manifesto: 11 Arguments for the Urgent Necessity & Surprising Feasibility of a Nat'l Nonviolent Civic Uprising & Social Strike.
Increased Commitment
GetCourageNow increases the support and engagement in a campaign using 5 proven motivational functions. These include crowd-acting (like crowdfunding but for action), removing barriers to getting involved, fostering community, and providing a wider variety of ways for people to support their favorite cause.
Easier Collaboration & Coordination
Organizers can track and organize campaign support using the manager dashboard, while realtime communication tools allow supporters and organizers to coordinate more efficiently on campaign objectives. Some of these tools include chat, video conferencing, scheduling, and document editing and sharing.
Data Security and Privacy
GetCourageNow is end-to-end encrypted with the highest standard of security, and can be integrated into any website or platform. Organizations have the opportunity to run the app on their own hidden servers, meaning that only they have access to their data - not us or big hosting companies.
