Crowdfunding Platform Crowdpac is the Social Network for Politics

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- A month ahead of the November election and on the day of the Vice-Presidential debate, political crowdfunding platform Crowdpac announced a robust set of new features, squarely establishing itself as the only social network exclusively for politics. Beginning today, Crowdpac users can follow, engage, and communicate with other users, as well as campaigns or causes of interest to them, without leaving the platform. In addition, campaigns now have access to new tools to identify and communicate with supporters.

"As the 2020 election enters the crucial final phase, people are tired of being bombarded with political messaging on traditional social networks," said Royal Kastens, CEO of Crowdpac. "People are also exhausted by those around them posting all the time, while doing nothing. On Crowdpac, you can not only post, but you can actually do something just like our 4 million members who have been effecting change since 2014."

In addition to launching its new social network features, Crowdpac added tools to make it easier for campaigns to reach potential donors and voters. With Crowdpac Share, new share buttons have been added to all campaign pages. With one click, members and campaigns can share to their networks within Crowdpac, by SMS, email, and Twitter, Facebook, and all other major social networks. Candidates can now upload email and phone numbers and send free emails and SMS texts directly from their Crowdpac dashboard.
