The organization has ongoing digital campaigns and litigations that seek to fundamentally reform our election system and educate the public on democracy reform issues. The digital campaign creates original educational videos, podcasts, graphics, and written commentaries on current events related to u.s. Democracy reform, and disseminates the content to the public via the organization's website and social media accounts. The digital campaigns include an education project named "deliberations.us" that invites the public to deliberate the pros and cons of the electoral college system and reform options. Participants will meet in small groups on an online platform, learn about the facts of the issues, and share their opinions in group conversations. The program expenses include compensations to project organizers, consultant for content creation and technology, and website hosting fees.
The organization launched an online video competition with a prize of 50,000 to educate the public on superpacs. The videos submitted to the competition were advertised in social media to raise awareness on superpacs and attract more engagements to the competition. A panel of independent judges decided the winning video and the prize was awarded. The program expenses include the prize money, advertising fees, compensations to consultants for digital marketing, content creation, public relations.
