Protesting

FAIR, FAST, & FUN.

VOTE, SHOP, & LIVE 
YOUR VALUES

What if voters picked leaders based on issues instead of political party, race or gender?

What if it didn't take millions of dollars in donations & lobbying to get what you want? 

We know that getting informed takes way too much time and that it's really hard to know who to trust. That's why we started VotingSmarting, a passionate team of volunteers using technology to make it easier to get informed & make political decisions. We started with our "Dating App for Elections" in 2020, then our Chrome shopping extension in 2022, or now it's through our recent partnership with Shoppyist.com . All to help you get your political power, and your cash, back!

Using tech for good

Our Dating App for Elections helped thousands of voters in 2020 find the candidates they matched with best based across 16 different political issues.

All based on over 4,000 hours research conducted by 135 hardworking volunteers. If you want us to bring back our Dating App for Elections for the upcoming election please be sure to click the donate button above!

When Voting Isn't Enough

Money controls politics, so we started working on how you can control where your money goes.

After the 2020 election, using our 4,000 hours of political research, we downloaded all the corporate political donation data we could find. We mapped those donations to the candidates they went to and created "political impact" scores for each brand. Then we embedded those data into a chrome shopping extension, so you could start shop your values.  People have quickly figured out that voting on election hasn't changed much but that voting with our dollars might change everything.  If you want to shop your values visit Shoppyist.com to get their app that takes it to the next level.
