Action Center 2.0 is a powerful tool that lets you perform successful communications. Using Action Center 2.0, you can create, manage and monitor your advocate mobilizations online, thereby increasing the overall advocate participation in these communications.

Congressional Fly-ins

Almost all (97%) Congressional staff said that in-person visits from constituents significantly influence the decisions of undecided legislators. Organizations usually facilitate constituent in-person visits by flying in their champion advocates to Capitol Hill or to district offices. However, setting up a fly-in and managing logistics for a fly-in is considered a cumbersome process, hence discouraging some organizations to perform this highly-influential communication.

Congressional Fly-ins module makes this easy for you. Using this module, you can easily track all activities of a fly-in from beginning-to-end, including identifying your champion advocates based on their previous participation, tracking advocate appointments with legislators, creating and delivering necessary handouts and recording appointment feedback and comments into the system.

Bills and Votes

Bills and Votes lets you identify, target and influence legislators who support, oppose or are undecided on your issues. Using this module, you can manage and monitor bills and votes that are being considered in Congress and in state legislatures. You can also manage bills and votes that haven’t yet been considered in legislatures and you can track the positions (e.g. sponsorships, support levels) of legislators on your issues and bills for better targeting.

Social Media – Facebook

Expand your advocate base greatly by directly reaching out to Facebook users and leveraging the viral nature of social media. Increase advocate participation on issues by letting advocates write to and call elected officials within Facebook.

Communicate with Advocates and Legislative Staff

As part the advocacy campaigns, you would want to create a list of elected officials, committee members and their staff, or you want to create a list of your most active advocates and communicate with them. Aristotle for grassroots offers a variety of tools (e.g. blast email, advocate panel) to communicate with your targeted list of legislative staff members and advocates.
