RU HAS THE DEMOCRACY MOVEMENT'S MOST VIBRANT AND RECOGNIZABLE BRAND. RU HAS GROWN THE LARGEST AND MOST ACTIVE ONLINE COMMUNITY IN THE FIELD, WITH DIGITAL CONTENT THAT BREAKS THROUGH THE NOISE AND ENGAGES DIVERSE AUDIENCES. IN THIS WAY, RU RECRUITS AND ENGAGES AN ARMY OF POLITICALLY SAVVY, IMPASSIONED ADVOCATES. RU EXECUTES AMBITIOUS PUBLIC EDUCATION AND MARKETING CAMPAIGNS THAT INSPIRE PEOPLE TO TAKE MEANINGFUL ACTION. AS NEW SUPPORTERS ARE ON-BOARDED, RU PROVIDES A CONTINUAL FLOW OF TOPICAL CONTENT THAT EMPHASIZES MOVEMENT VICTORIES, TELLS STORIES ABOUT REMARKABLE VOLUNTEERS, AND PROMPTS USERS TO ENGAGE.
