Political organizing is a difficult task largely because it is hard to reach ones audience. Shared public calendars of local, state, and national political events, can help tremendously in mobilizing the public to achieve policy goals. Events can be as simple as private meetings between groups of friends, or as complex as forming a massive rally. They can be set to private invitation or viewable by the public with or without RSVP. This will also include legislative calendars of the House, Senate, activities of the White House administration, and Supreme Court. Local, and state legislative calendars will likely be added by state officials/organizers once the site becomes an integrated part of society. Once again, this type of feature is offered by other online tools, but the interconnectedness of site features, and the specific intent of this tool to be for political organization purposes, creates a uniquely enticing and easy opportunity for the public to become more engaged. Shared viewable calendars, event listings posted to profile pages, debates on past and upcoming events, followed politician events, and an event widget on one’s home page will enhance the usage of this feature. The “event creator” and “event attender” badges of honor can also create a gamesmanship reward for participating.
