Movement Labs Civics (c3)
Organization Description
Movement Labs Civics is an incubator using technology and experimentation to stop fascism. At Movement Labs Civics, we aim to build a country that works for everyone. We use data, technology, and experimental methods to lift individuals and communities that have too often been ignored, creating a more representative and fair democracy.
2026 Programs
Between 2022 and 2024, we ran dozens of creative experiments to increase civic participation. We tested tactics like volunteer incentives, social programs (“Beers and Ballots”), rideshare access for low-income voters, and gamified mailers. With over 50 pre-registered experiments and 40 scaled programs, they’ve built deep insights into what works in voter engagement. Our next phase will relaunch the Innovation Incubator to collaborate with civic groups, funders, and consultants to source, test, and scale new engagement innovations through 2026.
