Giving hard-to-reach crime victims a voice in local decisions.

states: GA · WI · NC · CA · MI · RI · VA

City councils and county boards were shaping decisions that directly affected crime victims, but an unfavorable media narrative made it hard for those voices to be heard on their own terms. Influent built an always-on texting and letter program across seven states that let victims self-select into the conversation, capture their own stories, and reach local decision-makers directly. Advocates and their stories stay organized between fights, ready whenever the next local decision comes up.
