the partnership

We’ve partnered with Upstream Thinking, a technology partner from Austin, TX, to launch a version of their Matter of Voice app. It’s a lightweight, easy-to-use mobile application that lets your team or volunteers ask a short set of survey questions during or after live experiences. The tool captures anonymous responses, along with certain biographical details, making it comfortable for people to share openly and honestly. It’s designed to be quick, accessible, and practical for real-world use, with both text and audio entry options. 

Why it Matters

These stories are critical to understanding what resonates in the voting experience and where support is needed most. This human-centered approach strengthens our reporting to stakeholders and shapes the future of our collective impact across Texas.
