Election Year Is Here: How To Make Organization's Voice Heard With VoterVoice From FiscalNote (NYSE: NOTE)

Benzinga

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga As the 2024 presidential election approaches, the U.S. finds itself at a pivotal crossroads, with the state of its politics seemingly more complex than ever before. This election, like those before it, is a mirror reflecting the nation's ongoing evolution in its democratic processes. It embodies the myriad challenges and opportunities – political, social and technological – that shape the way we vote and participate in our democracy. Traditional means for affecting change like voting remain essential, and the role of advocacy is becoming more important – especially in overcoming the challenges of a potentially polarized political landscape. The 2024 Election This election cycle is unfolding in an environment where political divisions and a sense of uncertainty about the country's future direction are top of mind for many. Both major parties are grappling with internal challenges and declining approval ratings while the number of independents continues to grow, indicative of a shift in the traditional political landscape. Amidst this backdrop, the presence of polarizing candidates who inspire deep loyalty like incumbent President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, along with emerging third-party contenders, adds layers of unpredictability to an already tumultuous election season. Finally, the changing methodologies of voting, from the implementation of new technologies to the varying approaches to vote counting, highlight significant shifts in the American electoral system to which we are still adapting. Emerging Challenges In The 2024 Election The 2024 presidential election seems poised to be dominated by a relatively finite set of issues like reproductive rights, climate change and economic recovery. That presents a challenging environment for organizations to amplify their policy agendas that are oriented around a much more specific set of policy changes. With the spotlight on a likely Biden-Trump rematch, there's limited room for other policy discussions. This narrow focus makes it difficult for organizations with differing agendas to be heard. The Imperative Of Participation In this context, organizations acting more proactively through direct political advocacy can foster a more inclusive perspective on policy, giving a voice to organizations and the issues they care about that are absent from the current political discourse. It's not just about casting a vote for a candidate who may or may not represent your policy aspirations; it's about giving an organization and its constituents an actionable path toward directly contributing to the future of the nation. Every entity, irrespective of its size or sector, has the potential to influence the direction of public policy and contribute to the democratic process. In the absence of traditional political leaders or institutions representing an organization’s specific interests, any policy agenda can still become a reality through active engagement with lawmakers and political advocates. Amplifying Your Message With FiscalNote’s VoterVoice FiscalNote Holdings Inc’s (NYSE: NOTE) leading digital advocacy solution, VoterVoice, is a platform for organizations looking to make a meaningful grassroots-driven political impact. In 2022 alone, VoterVoice facilitated over 21.9 million messages to elected officials and 350 million emails to advocates, demonstrating its immense reach and influence. The platform is designed to be intuitive, making it easy for users to launch campaigns, engage advocates and effectively monitor outcomes with real-time reports. Additionally, the AI-driven features and data science tools of VoterVoice ensure that campaigns resonate with the right audience, maximizing the impact and driving policy change. However, the real strength of VoterVoice lies in its ability to connect users directly with lawmakers. The platform's integration with social media, a user-friendly interface and comprehensive tools make advocacy accessible and effective for any organization. Some of these tools include pre-filled lawmaker contact forms, AI-enhanced emails, surveys, petitions and detailed ROI reports that help organizations get their message out while building long-term engagement and creating a community of advocates. Through these tools, VoterVoice can help organizations move the needle on the policy that matters most to them and whomever they represent. Empowering Voices This Election As the challenges and opportunities of the 2024 election unfold, the importance of platforms like VoterVoice could prove to be instrumental. Empowering organizations to participate actively in the democratic process ensures every voice is heard, every concern is addressed and every effort is made to steer the nation toward a future that reflects the collective will and values of its people. In these coming months and years, tools like VoterVoice could prove to be invaluable in helping shape the policies that will define our future.

Startup Reduces Sugar In Natural Beverages Without Spoiling The Taste; Juice, Dairy Industries Could Be Ripe For BlueTree Technologies

OurCrowd

by Jeremy Ruden More than half of the global population – 51%, or over 4 billion people – will be obese by 2035, according to a 2023 report from the World Obesity Atlas. One of the major causes of obesity is sugar. While candy and carbonated drinks might be on many people’s radars as a primary source of sugar, natural beverages such as orange juice are also packed with it. With these health concerns in mind, scientists at startup BlueTree Technologies created proprietary technology that removes up to 50 percent of the sugar from juice and other natural beverages. BlueTree’s innovative method selectively removes a specific sugar molecule, preserving the beverages’ natural taste and health benefits. The company is now raising a funding round through OurCrowd, the global equity investment platform. “Our technology targets the disaccharides in the juice without harming the other ingredients,” says Yossi Sefi, BlueTree’s Chief Technical Officer. “It is capable of locating the exact kind of sugar in orange juice, for example, and removing it without harming the pulp, the vitamin C, the amino acids, or any other important ingredients.” In tests, half of those surveyed reported they preferred the flavor of orange juice with less sugar – while noticing no difference in the aroma and texture from the original. Successful Pilot The company, which was nurtured at the Fresh Start FoodTech incubator in northern Israel established by OurCrowd with Tnuva, Tempo and Finistere Ventures, has successfully adapted its technology for commercial applications. “We developed a turnkey platform that can be easily integrated into any manufacturing line,” says Michael Gordon, BlueTree’s CEO, who was formerly a senior director at Coca-Cola before joining the company. Gordon oversaw BlueTree’s first major deployment at a plant belonging to Priniv, one of the top three natural juice manufacturers in Israel. “It took us no more than two months to fully integrate our system and we did it without interfering with the plant’s overall operations,” Gordon says. BlueTree built all the equipment and the machinery for the Priniv installation in-house. The facility can now produce some 10,000 liters of orange juice daily, with up to 50% less sugar. BlueTree is poised for full-scale commercial production, with patents secured in the EU and Brazil, while awaiting approval from the Israeli Ministry of Health and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. International beverage manufacturers and distributors, working to produce healthier products and avoid warning labels or progressive taxes on sugary drinks, are also showing a great deal of interest in BlueTree’s platform. The company signed an agreement with a leading international manufacturer, which it hopes will result in revenues of at least $6 million a year. It is also in advanced negotiations with other global producers in Italy and Spain and major juice manufacturers in Brazil and Thailand. One Platform The dairy industry is another target for BlueTree’s technology. Working together with a major local food manufacturer, the company produced a prototype that reduced the sugar in skimmed milk by some 75%. Commercialization plans are underway. The company also began an R&D project for beer with an international beverage manufacturer. The agreement forecasts the production of more than 200 million liters of reduced-sugar beer a year. “We can make the world better by reducing the sugar from all of nature’s liquids for all consumers,” Gordon says. “Our versatile tech could help curb the obesity crisis by cutting two teaspoons of sugar from children’s daily diet.” For more information about investing in BlueTree via OurCrowd, click HERE.
