Earlier this month, Sean Parker’s new civic tech startup Brigade released the first in a series of tools intended to reenergize public participation in our democracy.

The iOS and Android app (currently in private beta) is a place to express what you think about important issues, and see where your friends and others stand. Follow-on releases will include tools for users to start their own groups with like-minded friends and neighbors and take action, as well as some experiences around elections that will help citizens vote in line with their values.

Brigade is looking for high value early adopters who can provide meaningful feedback and would love input from the Founders Space community.
