Amplifyd: A Unique Crowdsourced Lobbying Platform

The Amplifyd crowdsourced lobbying platform was launched on June 10th. It supports several campaigns including those focused on environmental themes. Amplifyd is a social activism startup based in Berkeley, California that allows people to influence public policy. Their platform is the world's first technology-driven lobbying solution.

Amplfyd works by giving supporters the opportunity to purchase lobbying calls to elected officials while financially supporting the nonprofit at the same time. People can also generate income by becoming a caller.

While corporations spend more than $3 billion a year to influence politicians once they are elected, people have no voice. Amplifyd claims that signing online petitions is not an effective tool to influence your elected officials because these petitions are not restricted to those that matter to politicians (ie their voting constituency). Amplifyd solves this problem by verifying your identity through your billing address, so your representative knows that you are in fact a voting constituent.

As a crowdsourced social activism platform, people can purchase calls from campaigns listed on the site. Campaign organizers can add their own contact for their campaigns or simply choose from federal and state databases.

For every call made, the organization managing the campaign will make a base rate of $1.00. This means they could generate passive income for simply creating and managing the campaign. If the call was made by the campaigner or someone from their team, they will make an additional $2.00, resulting in a total earning potential of $3 dollars per call for the campaigner. Independent callers will earn from $1 per call with the chance to double their rate by inviting people to join the platform - 10 cents increase per person invited.

New Social Activism Crowdsourcing Platform

Social activism can change the world and a new concept is being launched shortly that will help give people more power and influence over their governments. This new social activism is called Amplifyd, it is a crowdsourced lobbying platform where people can support causes in their community and in return get a personal representative that will call and lobby their elected officials on their behalf.

Each campaign is managed by non-profits fighting for important causes, giving these organizations an additional way to mobilize their communities and generate active and passive incomes.

Anyone can sign up to become a crowdsourced caller, getting paid to lobby elected officials for others.* According to Scott Blankenship the founder & CEO of Amplifyd, this is especially great for college students, post-grads, activists, hourly or part-time employees needing an additional source of income and avid travelers, since people can make calls through our platform from anywhere.

Blankenship believes that Amplifyd will change the political status quo in the US. Stay tuned to The Green Market Oracle for more information and the formal launch details.
