icitizen
icitizen
icitizen is a civic-engagement and issue-based networking platform designed to strengthen communities through shared interests and concerns. With icitizen, users connect their voices to promote their interests and priorities in their communities, their nation and the world.
The Nashville, Tenn.-based tech company, founded in 2012, is the most accessible and trustworthy civic-engagement platform on the market that is transforming the way people engage at the local, state, national and global levels. In 2015 CEO Russell P. Reeder, formerly head of Media Temple, and an expert in civic-engagement technology, joined icitizen and brought renewed energy by moving the corporate headquarters to SoBro, tripling the staff and leading the build of a brand-new, reinvented platform.
The completely reinvented platform can engage communities, regions, states and the nation by providing a mechanism for citizens to:
Vote in professionally authored issue polls.
Create issue cards to mobilize their communities around issues that matter.
Connect with elected officials.
Gain quick, valid and transparent information.
Create impact!
“Two things enable people to get engaged in what matters to them and make their voices count – civic technology that connects with elected officials, and transparent access to news and government information,” Reeder said. “That’s what icitizen provides.”
The thing that sets ic apart from any similar platform is its approach to community and civic engagement. What ic offers is a two-way connection between citizens and officials. Traditionally the citizen files a concern and it’s not answered, or an elected official states his/her priorities and does not receive feedback.
With the icitizen application, when icitizens speak, elected officials get a clearer understanding of the people they represent. Leaders have an increasing need for deeper data insights that can help move state and local policy. They glean these insights through icitizen’s analytics. (It’s all completely private and anonymous – icitizens are never identified unless they want to be.)
icitizen is bringing transparency to democracy with quick information and news and a way to communicate with elected officials. It’s a trusted place to speak, seek information and make your voice heard.
All this makes community engagement easy and interesting. And we need engagement now more than ever on the issues that matter to us, every day, right where we live.
icitizen. Your voice, interests and priorities count.
