Whether you’re organizing community members, communicating with constituents or sharing important election information, Subtext lets you connect directly with your audience without the influence of trolls and algorithms.
A congressman provides a text service for constituents to send in questions or concerns directly to their office. This service allows them to communicate both one-on-one and at mass with subscribers. It also provides accessibility to community members without broadband internet.
Provide accessible information
Reporter Lexis-Olivier Ray sends a text every day to the unhoused community of Los Angeles with information about sanitation stations, shelters, food and more. Text is the ideal form of communication for this vulnerable community and the information Lexis-Olivier provides can be the difference between life and death.
Send campaign alerts
This campaign from FloridaPolitics.com brings the latest news and analysis on Florida State Legislative Sessions and beyond. With a large and loyal audience, they’ve also monetized Subtext by selling sponsored texts. Advertisers “quickly understood the real-time power of the text service, as opposed to the static advertising on a website.”
Community support
