Our mission, contributor guidelines, and active project list
Campaign is planning on doing audio recordings of EWs plans and would like to make those available as Alexa/Google Home skills so you can ask your digital assistant to tell you her latest plan, or ask for details about a specific plan.
There has been some discussion about possible frameworks and ability to share code with the Plan Bot project, but we will need one or two people to spearhead this project. Reach out to a moderator if you have relevant skills and would like to work on this.
Often in the day-to-day of the campaign, there's a big news moment that spurs a lot of interest, and it's worthwhile to spin up a quick microsite to capture enthusiasm generated by the moment. Generally the need in these sites is very simple (1-2 pages of a little content/video/imagery; signup form; donate button). It'd be nice to automate away as much of the drudgery as necessary - even up to and including domain name registration - so that someone in say the digital organizing operation could put one of these together in an hour.
I would like to see a M4A cost calculator site/app into which people can input some basic information about their circumstances and current plan and get an estimate of cost savings under M4A.
The site should be able to create a basic monthly cost calculation based on premiums and should also be able to generate some scenarios that explain common "what if" situations. What-ifs might include:
By registering the user would be able to save a scenario and , with their permission we would be able to use their contact details for communication and their anonymized scenario details for analytics.
The user should be able to sign up for news on the campaign and specific to healthcare.
It’s great to see that a few projects are getting off the ground. I’ve been following the conversations on the Slack channel and the Warren Groups app. It appears to me that would-be tech volunteers fall into one of two types: people who know what they want to work on and are ready to jump right in, and people who are excited to contribute but don’t know where to start.
Beyond the onboarding process that has already been set up via the app and Slack, I wondering what the volunteer organizers (and others) are thinking about how best to coordinate efforts and leverage the different skillsets of potential volunteers. While still encouraging a self-organizing process where people prototype, test, and get feedback on their own ideas, does it seem feasible to also maintain a centralized list with more clearly defined tasks that will give newcomers a place to start? Or is there a better way to link people who want to contribute with specific tasks?
Feel free to reach out to me on Slack if there is any way I can contribute on the organizing/communication side.

! Submit issues with ideas, help gather research, find good new datasets, and let's make this happen 🎉
This issue was originally about making something like the current elizabethwarren.com/plans page, but the cool thing I was hoping to help create are interactive plan/data-driven visualizations. The debt calculator is what got me thinking about this because it puts the policy in the terms of peoples' lives.
I think putting plans in terms of individual voter's lives is the big thing here, whether that's showing how a plan will benefit them, or how much the problem could be hurting them. A calculator for the affordable housing plan, for instance, could use their zip code to show how much Warren's plans would reduce average rent in their area/city. Something for climate change could show whether somebody is in outdated flood zone maps, or whether their risk for asthma/cancers is elevated.
The prior idea had so many pieces that it was tough to get a simple skeleton off the ground. For now I'm going to set up a basic tabbed page with one visualization. The CPFB dataset over in https://github.com/techforwarren/datasets seems like a great place to start! I'm going to borrow as much styling as I can from https://github.com/techforwarren/eventmap , see if we can start building out a shared design system.
Hi @shaisachs ! I've got a first draft of the septdebates
microsite up and running, mostly just testing out the templating and deploy to Github Pages. I followed this react-gh-pages
guide to try and set up deployments, but when I go to https://techforwarren.github.io/septdebates , there's nothing there.
Any chance there's some org-wide config which needs to be set up? Or maybe a repo Setting I don't have access to modify? Looking forward to making these microsites easy to work with!
Just for disclosure, I am promoting some of the tools I have developed and the examples are to shed light on what is possible. Everything can be customized.
Our tools make it easy to curate digital links, comment on them, tag them and publish them into a content library.
My idea is simple. Let's curate all of Warren's posts on Social Media and her comments, organize and categorize them, then use Google's DiagFlow platform (This is an AI-based natural language processing Solution) to create interactive charts to both educate and answer voter questions in context!
I have been curating news on the Trump Presidency for 3 years. I have used my research an applied it to the concept above. I am making a couple of modifications to make the experience even better, but you can see the application from my example.
My chat example has answered a few questions on the Trump presidency to demonstrate the power of our solution.
Click here and the chat will appear at the bottom right corner of the page.
The idea is to create a website or widget to help voters find the information they need to vote/caucus in the primaries.
We can take this idea in stages, as follows:
When do I vote?
At this stage, we basically take a primary election calendar and put a simple skin on it. For ex., prompt users for the state they live in with a simple select input, then report back the date of the relevant state's primary/caucus.
Where do I vote?
At this stage, we prompt the user for an address, and then make a request to Google Civic API, or something similar, to get polling place information.
Follow-up
At this stage, we try to collect name/email/SMS information for later follow-up - the idea being that someone who is motivated enough to find this information might be a good candidate for volunteering or other support.
Reminder to vote
The basic idea here is to take the email/SMS information from stage 3 and use it to remind voters to go vote at the appropriate time. Perhaps with a one week/one day/6 hours kind of schedule, something like that. Note that we could easily incorporate elements of this idea earlier on - for example, in stage 1, we could develop an "Add this date to your Google Calendar" widget to make it easy for voters to incorporate election day into their plans.
Voter reg deadlines
Here we would extend the functionality in stage 1 to include deadlines on when to register to vote. So for ex. if the user is from Massachusetts, we'd indicate that a) Primary Day is Mar 3, 2020 and b) the voter registration deadline is Feb 12, 2020. Bonus points for information about early voting and absentee voting! Rock the Vote seems to have a good database of dates here.
Register to vote / request an absentee ballot
It would be really, really cool if we extended all of the above to actually give users the tools to register to vote, or to request an absentee ballot, right on the spot. That's a pretty tall order, though, so probably an easier lift is to just link them to TurboVote.
My basic concept here is to mash up the campaign's pledge to vote form (e.g. https://elizabethwarren.com/pledge/new-hampshire?source=web-join-us-nh) with a walk-a-thon type page. Here's the basic idea of how this would work:
Create an icon we can use for this github org and for community.elizabethwarren.com. Should use the EW colors:
Liberty green: #B7E4CF
red: #b61b28
blue: #232444
We're working on the social media bots that will respond to requests for Sen. Warren's policy proposals, but we have it in a separate repo for now because I don't know who has permissions to create new repos in this org.
It wouldn't hurt to migrate it over so other people can contribute if they want, but it would be helpful to know who to coordinate with to make that happen.
Thanks, in advance, for the help/follow up!
