In the quest of building a just and habitable world through storytelling and mobilization, the company 'Purpose' created the Hope App— a mobile text-based application that preserves democracy and immerses people in the real political narrative. Purpose realized that a select portion of the country is feeling anxious about decisions made by the current political administration. In addition, media and news sources weren't contributing to alleviating the amassed fears. Hence, Purpose came up with a digital-friendly solution.
The Hope App coaches the anxious user to be more politically proactive and engaging in democracy. It identifies important headlines and explains them. Thereafter, if the user wishes to take action for or against a new political development, the Hope app explains what courses of actions are available and urges the user to make a difference.
