About LobbyThis

How It Works

Citizens choose an issue they care about and pledge $8–$25/month. When a movement hits its funding threshold (typically $1,000/month), LobbyThis matches supporters with a vetted professional lobbyist who works on their behalf.

Supporters vote on strategy, receive monthly progress reports, and can cancel anytime.

Why We Exist

In 2024, corporations spent $4.5 billion on federal lobbying. The Princeton Study (Gilens & Page, 2014) found that government policy reflects the preferences of wealthy citizens but bears virtually no relationship to the preferences of average Americans.

LobbyThis makes lobbying accessible to everyone.

The Model

• Subscription-based — Monthly pledges create sustained pressure, not one-time bursts.
• Professional advocates — We match movements with experienced lobbyists nationwide.
• Full transparency — Monthly progress reports and quarterly financials published publicly.
• Self-governed — Supporters vote on strategy and priorities.

Our Mission

Democracy should respond to people, not just money. We're building the infrastructure for citizens to compete with corporate lobbying at scale.
