I have 10 years experience in political and online organizing, social media advocacy and causing the right kind of trouble. In 2014 I founded uCampaign, a platform that makes it easy for our clients to build powerful apps which engage their supporters and create a trove of valuable data for their wider digital and engagement efforts. uCampaign has powered the official smartphone app of over 50 organizations including the Republican National Committee, the UK Conservative Party, the National Rifle Association, Ted Cruz for President, Rand Paul for Senate and Donald J. Trump for President. In 2017 we expanded our global footprint to 12 countries and launched RumbleUp, the most advanced peer-to-peer (P2P) texting platform that makes it easy for clients to have 1-on-1 conversations at scale. RumbleUp has been adopted by over 150 clients in the past year who have sent tens of millions of text messages for get out the vote, fundraising, voter ID and persuasion, local and federal advocacy, driving event attendance and a dozen other use cases, including non-political use cases. For 7 years I authored one of the most popular Catholic blogs in the world, AmericanPapist.
Thomas Peters, Founder and CEO, RumbleUp and uCampaign provides an update on the use of peer-to-peer texting by political campaigns and advocacy groups. He emphasizes the need to work with vendors who are following legal and regulatory requirements to insure that recipients can opt-out and text messages get delivered and not stuck in a spam filter. Thomas also explains how voter records are being updated with mobile numbers which will lead to even more P2P opportunities for Federal, state and local candidates in 2020. @Rumble_Up RumbleUp.com uCampaign.co
This episode is sponsored by RumbleUp[00:00] Introduction [1:00] The third Women’s March has officially been scheduled for January 19, 2019. We thought now would be the perfect time to discuss our feelings on the marches: it’s complicated! [1:28] Where Amanda, Sarah, and Christina were for the first Women’s March (not there), and why. It was never about uniting all women. [9:35] There were so many reasons to be skeptical of the march. But even over the last couple of years...that list has grown. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/23/us/womens-march-anti-semitism.html https://www.foxnews.com/politics/womens-march-founder-calls-on-linda-sarsour-other-activists-to-resign-over-anti-semitism-anti-gay-beliefs [11:00] One march in California has already been cancelled for being too white… https://krcrtv.com/north-coast-news/eureka-local-news/organizers-cancel-womens-march-jan-19-due-to-overwhelmingly-white-participants [12:00] What has the Women’s March movement accomplished in the last two years, if anything? Random protests...Day Without a Woman strike… There’s no clarity on what defines “women’s rights”. [16:20] Whatever you do, don’t try to call the organizers out. If you do, you’ll get labeled a white nationalist. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/01/opinion/womens-march-progressives-hate.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/03/opinion/from-a-womens-march-leader-we-need-to-stand-united.html[22:30] Will identity politics do the movement in? [27:10] David Brooks explains in the New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/24/opinion/after-the-womens-march.html [30:30] Something else worth reading:Tablet Magazine does a deep dive on the Women’s March https://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-news-and-politics/276694/is-the-womens-march-melting-down [31:05] Why talking about all of this really does matter. The Women’s March doesn’t speak for ALL women, and it’s important to say so.
