Organize your community.

You’re not running a campaign

Most civic tech is built for elections. “Win your race.” “Mobilize voters.” “Election day turnout.”

But you’re not running for anything. You’re:

• A neighbourhood association fighting a bad development
• A tenant group demanding repairs
• An advocacy group pushing for better transit
• A community organization connecting neighbours

You need tools for year-round engagement, not campaign season sprints.

What makes community organizing different

Long-term relationships

Campaigns end on election day. Community organizations are forever. You need to maintain relationships over years, not weeks. Track who’s engaged, who’s drifted away, who might come back.

Issue-based mobilization

You’re not asking people to vote for a candidate. You’re asking them to show up at a city council meeting, sign a petition, write to their councillor. Different asks require different tools.

No campaign budget

Most community organizations run on volunteer time and small donations. Enterprise pricing isn’t an option. Neither is stitching together five free-tier tools.

Different metrics

You don’t measure success by votes. You measure it by:

• People showing up at meetings
• Signatures on petitions
• Letters to councillors
• Policy wins
• Community connections made

What gov.vote gives you

Supporter management

Keep track of everyone who’s supported your cause. Tag them by interest, neighbourhood, engagement level. Know who to call when you need bodies at a council meeting.

Petitions that work

Collect signatures online and offline. Target specific decision-makers. Track momentum. Turn signers into active supporters.

Event management

Town halls, community meetings, volunteer shifts. RSVPs, reminders, check-ins. Get people actually showing up.

Email that connects

Newsletters, action alerts, updates. Segment by interest so people get what they care about, not everything.

Simple websites

Explain who you are and what you’re fighting for. No design skills required. Update it yourself when the situation changes.

Pricing for community organizations

The platform is free—unlimited contacts, your subdomain. Pay only for the tools you actually use.

We’re not here to extract value from community organizations. We’re here to help you build power. See pricing for details.
