Experiment in ‘WikiGovernment’ Helps Reform Philadelphia

Philadelphia is the birthplace of our democracy and EvolveStrategies' produced ReformBallot.org added to that tradition this spring by creating a reform agenda using the same technology that drives Wikipedia to help reform the City's government.

Over the course of two months more than 500 Philadelphians signed onto the R.E.F.O.R.M. Compact and dozens helped to write and vote on items to included in the R.E.F.O.R.M. Agenda.

The Daily News hailed it as, "an interesting experiment in democracy."

Candidates were then asked to indicate their support for the 24-point R.E.F.O.R.M. Agenda.

Before voters go to the polls on May 15th to pick a new mayor and city council they can review candidate positions on the agenda and print out a 'reform ballot' from the site.

Vote on May 15th in Philadelphia!

Arguably the most important election in a generation will happen on Tuesday May 15th in Philadelphia. Evolve has produced two candidate websites as well as REFORM Ballot and NewDirectionPhilly.org in anticipation.

Go here to find your polling place and to get information on the ballot questions. If you are able please consider coming out on Election Day to help out on one of the campaigns. Contact us if you are interested.

Progressives Makes Run at City Hall

Community Beats Railroad Goliath with Help of Network Centric Strategy

On April 24th Mayor John F. Street signed the agreement between the City of Philadelphia and CSX Railroad to keep the two street level crossings to the Schuylkill River Park Trail open and made safe for park users.

This agreement came after a coordinated effort by the community to guarantee pedestrian access to the park. Evolve helped the cause by providing web technology and campaign strategy that galvanized the community and park users and negotiated an historic agreement with CSX Railroad to establish new ground level crossings.

Online Network Connecting Artists Across Region

Artists often march to the beat of their own song but when it comes to issues like health care and insurance they need to work together.

That is why Evolve created a website for Artist LINC Philadelphia with interactive tools that allow artists to receive and exchange information about themselves and their craft and will help to build an informed constituency that collectively can leverage change.

New Design Helps Organization Launch New Name
