Informing to Empower is a non-profit, non-partisan democratizing media platform committed to bringing greater transparency and voter literacy to the electoral process. Our unique Candidates Video Debate format allows voters to easily compare short videos of candidates answering the same locally crowdsourced questions in a pundit-free environment. During the 2020 elections, we covered primary and general election debates in more than thirty congressional districts. In 2021, we partnered with the Bella Abzug Leadership Institute to create an InformYourVote.org virtual debate for New York’s Democratic mayoral primary that became one of the city’s most widely-used online resources. More than 150,000 New Yorkers educated themselves by viewing over 320,000 candidate response videos.
