Grasshopr is a communications and grassroots advocacy platform for the 21st century. We’ve combined aspects of social networking with grassroots advocacy technology to empower individuals and groups – from official national organizations to informal local communities – to collaborate and get engaged in public policy at the federal, state and local level. And because advocacy on Grasshopr is authentic, elected officials can build sustainable connections with real constituents. Organizations of all types and sizes can use Grasshopr to know which districts their members reside and target messages, advocacy alerts, polls, and event advisories accordingly. In addition, they can use Grasshopr as a communication and collaboration tool to interact with their members and move beyond one-to-many blast emails.

    Individuals can use Grasshopr to get connected with their elected officials at the federal, state and local level and communicate with them on issues they care about. They can also weigh in on legislation, blog, find other like-minded individuals, and join other groups or start groups of their own. Elected officials can use Grasshopr to build authentic, sustainable connections with their constituents. They can message their constituents, invite them to a town hall meeting, or poll them on current issues. Inbound constituent communications are tagged and sorted to make life easier for them and their staff. Grasshopr will always be free for individuals, groups, and elected officials. We’re developing some useful premium features and will be rolling those out going forward.
