CHALLENGES
AARP needed a tool to help them drive Illinois residents to engage elected representatives
AARP Illinois tasked Comrade in designing a website that would help them drive IL residents to engage elected representatives as means of holding them accountable for drafting a sensible state budget. With this, CDMA would help AARP develop what would become known as the “Enough Is Enough” campaign. The goal was to create tools to enable residents to add their own stories and opinions on the crucial topic of state budgeting and its adverse effects on the elderly population.
SOLUTIONS
CDMA created an easy-to-use solution

Finally, the website guides the user toward action and engagement, including sharing content through social media.
