Working hard and hardly blogging

July already! Apologies for the dearth of posts in the past month. Finals kept us busy until the middle of June; since then we've been prepping for the soft launch of TopCorner.org in August. Expect 2-4 updates per month from here on out.

We've moved into our summer office! Find us in office 108 of the Stanford Institute of Economic Policy Research (SIEPR) building (map and directions).

One of the issues we've been grappling with is what level of change-making TopCorner should launch with. Should we launch with a local, California state, or U.S. national campaign? Should we partner with government, non-profit, or for-profit organizations? While our ultimate aim is to make TopCorner.org useful to any organization or individual at any level, TopCorner staffing is lean and mean for launch and focused primarily on achieving proof of concept for the website's launch in August. What do you think?

Happy belated 4th of July! It's an honor to celebrate the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence while actively working to democratize the tools available for civic engagement in the United States. Do contact us to let us know your questions, concerns, and advice for TopCorner.org. Let the great American experiment in democracy continue!
