Empower My Membership
Give your members the tools they need to speak up, socialize, and participate
An energized membership is far louder and more impactful than your organization's staff can ever be. Blue State Digital specializes in developing and disseminating tools that your members or constituents can use to join together, interact, and make themselves heard. Whether your organizational's goals include legislative advocacy, public education, or the development of a strong social community around a particular issue set, deploying the BSD Online Tools helps ensure that your community is a lively and participatory place, ringing with the authentic voices of individuals who are aligned with your mission.
BSD's public education and advocacy successes are numerous. From Congress to the Connecticut State House, our tools and programs have affected the fate of dozens of bills over the years. We've helped nonprofits, companies, and consortia of all kinds generate public interest, buy-in, and action in response to humanitarian problems, environmental risks, and regulatory issues. In Barack Obama's Presidential campaign, our programs have helped his supporters hold the line against right-wing attacks. For Americans United for Change, we've helped members keep the pressure on President Bush about his policy priorities. And via the We Campaign, our programs are helping Vice President Al Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection mobilize millions of Americans to sign on to be part of aggressive carbon emissions reduction goals.
But advocacy is only part of the picture. BSD's online social networking tools build the framework of community around your organization's online activities, making it possible for your constituents to build relationships with one another that supercharge their commitment and multiply their effectiveness. Individual user profile pages and blog tools encourage your constituents to express themselves online, resulting in richer online environment that helps attract and hold new constituents. Your Web site becomes a community in reality, not just in name -- and your organization benefits.
