About VoteTripling.org
VoteTripling.org's mission is to amplify the voices of ordinary Americans and permanently boost voter turnout by designing, testing and disseminating elegant, low-cost, behavioral science-based voter mobilization tactics. Specifically, our voter turnout organization and PAC specializes in tactics that spark Democrats to get their friends to vote. In 2020, our work is centered on disseminating our research-proven tactics as broadly as possible in swing states via providing free and in-depth training and technical support to progressives on the implementation of these techniques. In 2020, we are supporting dozens of national- and state-level independent expenditures and political campaigns. Our ambition is to gain enough adoption of vote tripling to produce a large enough boost in turnout to flip a 2020 swing state. In 2021 and beyond, our work will focus on developing new campaign innovations and disseminating them to progressive allies across the country. As a Los Angeles-based organization, we are committed to serving our local community. In odd years (2021, 2023, etc) we intend to focus much of our work in the Los Angeles area.
