When people need to organize public campaigns and reach decision-makers, advocacy software can help coordinate that work. The entries are ranked in a best-of order, beginning with Action Network, New/Mode and ActionKit. Compare action campaigns and petition tools with grassroots organizing and legislator outreach to see which activities are covered. SMS messaging is another listed capability to consider for participant outreach, while advocacy analytics is a separate point of comparison.
