  • Enable bulk messaging to local constituents, who use both brick and smartphones (using above database)
  • Facilitate recording of testimony (as in the Web portal described above),
  • Enable the reporting of threats, corruption, and violence (using same testimony feature)
  • Allow for participation in Woman's P2P "Electing Women" Community by viewing posts, sending and receiving messages of support.
  • Enable fundraising from global sources (long term feature).
  • Localized training of candidates (long term feature)
