It's time to meet the team behind New/Mode's Civic Engagmenet Software.
We are campaigners. We work for a fairer and more sustainable world. We weren't satisfied with the high prices and lack of features of existing political advocacy apps. So we built what modern campaigns need to empower people, shape public decisions, and win. We exist to power democratic participation wherever the open Internet exists.
Meet our Co-Founders Steve and Shamus, Digital Strategists Dammy and Petra, Lead Developer Andrew and Senior Advocacy Outreach Manager Paul.
