Was interested to see this new offering from our colleague, George Polisner, Civic Works, a social media platform for activists and promoted here below. Good to see!

Civ.Works is the product of very similar thinking to PlaceSpeak in that it seeks to authenticate the online civic engagement process with the objective, ultimately, to build trust in democracy. I met Civ.Works founder, George Polisner, after he famously resigned from Oracle in protest to its CEO joining Trump's technology caucus.
