First AI Voter Empowerment App Goes Online for Labor Day's "Speak Up America" Event

RUTHER GLEN, Va. and ATLANTA, Aug. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Center for Common Ground and Issues That Matter, Inc. have announced a collaboration for Speak Up America Week 2024. The online digital event will launch on Labor Day, Monday, September 2 and run for two consecutive weeks with the world's first AI fact-checked Voter Empowerment Assistant.

Speak Up America Week is designed to engage and inform voters on the most pressing issues of our times, including national and local issues, economic empowerment, criminal justice and the environment. Citizens visit the SpeakUpAmerica.Vote and AlzaTuVozAmerica.Voto websites to vote for the Top Ten Election Issues that most matter to them. The results of the week-long opinion poll will be used to communicate law-making priorities to the next Congress as measured by the aggregate voice of the voters about the issues they want fixed.

Andrea Miller, Executive Director at the Center for Common Ground noted, "Knowledge is power, and our work is based upon voter empowerment through voter education. Speak Up America Week will inform and engage millions of voters across America in an exciting online event."

Alfredo Narez, President/CEO at Issues That Matter, Inc. remarked, "this is a watershed moment where access to information is so vital to our future. It is truly a privilege to collaborate with the Center for Common on the Speak Up America Week project."

According to Pew Research, about 70% of U.S. adult citizens who were eligible to participate in all three elections in 2018, 2020 and 2022 voted in at least one of them, with only about half of that percentage, or 37%, voting in all three elections.

Given the sizable number of intermittent voters and chronic nonvoters, there is ample opportunity to increase voter turnout and inform voters across the diverse political landscape. Engaging voters on issues they care about the most – and highlighting the direct impact of these issues on their lives and communities – can greatly increase voter motivation on election day.

Working collaboratively with numerous community partners, the Center for Common Ground and Speak Up America Week can create more than 100M voter impressions during the upcoming election cycle.
