Corruption Watch Project Update
-
Arpan’s expanded Corruption Watch needs coders; several viewers have offered help for the significant development of this political corruption database, which may become a separate organization.
-
Vincent to email hope@TYT.com regarding contributing as a professional game programmer.
Candidate Accountability Framework
-
Tony proposed a detailed accountability and engagement framework for Rebellion PAC candidates to prevent post-election corporate influence, citing Sinema and Fetterman as examples.
-
The framework includes regular check-ins, welfare assessments, activity updates, goal-setting, obstacle identification, and constituent engagement tracking, prioritizing sustained involvement.
-
Corey suggested adding a media strategy component to track legislative promotion.
-
Kara agreed; this aligns with plans for candidates to appear on RevolYOUtion Q&A sessions, which could double as accountability meetings.
-
Tony will incorporate media strategy questions. Kara will discuss implementation with Cenk.
New Rebellion PAC Endorsements
-
Three new candidates will be announced tomorrow, Dec 18.
-
Richard Ojeda, Randy Bryce, and Ro Khanna are existing endorsed candidates.
Populist Plank Endorsement Process
-
Kara noted the Populist Plank’s petition system is clunky and unprofessional for candidate endorsements. A simplified solution is needed, featuring easy endorsement, automatic shareable social media image generation, a professional display page on populistplank.com, and a completion follow-up system.
-
Aaron proposed an externally hosted landing page linked from TYT to populate a Google spreadsheet. Kara is working with TYT on improved page structure.
-
Kara to follow up after Friday’s meeting about creating a simple endorsement page. Team to identify someone to manage the endorsement follow-up process (similar to Henry’s state-level volunteer role).
Operation Hope Game Development
-
Maggie proposed a card game focused on civic engagement and making “hope” practical (ages 8+). Key features include civics trivia, progressive difficulty, and multi-solution problem-solving.
-
Tony will gather youth input on game preferences. The team will contribute ideas to Maggie’s discussion post. Maggie will continue developing the game, balancing evergreen and contemporary elements.
