Dear John,

Today, we're excited to announce a Request for Proposals for our inaugural Media Innovation Fellowship ([link removed]) program at the Higher Ground Institute.

Organic digital media has emerged as a central battleground for political organizing and persuasion. Yet progressives remain severely outmatched in these spaces and have struggled to develop the technical infrastructure needed to compete effectively.

That's why we're launching this three-month intensive fellowship to support innovators ready to design the next generation of digital engagement tools.

This virtual fellowship is open to anyone who can build technical solutions – whether you're a developer, digital strategist, designer, or someone with unique skills that bridge technology and organizing. We're looking for people who can create software or apply technologies to transform how progressives connect with voters online.
Apply Now ([link removed])

If you're selected, you'll receive a $15,000 stipend and work closely with our team and partner organizations to refine your idea. You'll move from concept to working prototype and receive opportunities to showcase your innovation to the broader progressive community.

Learn more and apply today. ([link removed]) Applications close on May 27th 9am ET. The fellowship begins on June 23rd.

Whether you're working on content creation tools, distribution systems, audience analytics, or something we haven't even thought of yet – if you're building technical solutions for progressive digital engagement, we want to hear from you.

The time to act is now: building better technical infrastructure for digital engagement now is critical to our movement's success. Your innovation could help close the digital gap and transform how progressives compete online.

We look forward to seeing your ideas!
