This release expands geographic targeting capabilities in the Actions app, allowing County and Municipal district targets to be resolved using locally ingested boundary shapefiles in jurisdictions where standard district data is unavailable.
This gives organizations greater flexibility to define and work with custom district boundaries, helping ensure that advocacy actions can be accurately matched to the appropriate local officials and jurisdictions.
What you can do:
Support custom district boundaries: Use locally ingested shapefiles to define County and Municipal districts in jurisdictions with gaps in standard boundary data.
Improve local targeting: Accurately identify the appropriate geographic targets for advocacy actions based on custom boundary information.
Expand geographic coverage: Support advocacy campaigns in jurisdictions that may not be covered by standard district boundary datasets.
Why this matters for nonprofits:
Local advocacy often depends on knowing exactly which officials represent a constituent's address. But geographic boundaries aren't always available through standard datasets, particularly for less commonly supported jurisdictions.
This update gives nonprofits more control over their geographic targeting, helping ensure supporters are connected with the right local decision-makers and expanding the reach of advocacy campaigns into jurisdictions that previously presented data gaps.
Happy Soapboxing!
