We believe that only advocates on the ground have the knowledge and expertise to develop the tools our movement needs. We team up with you to build online technology that has the potential to impact the whole movement.
We know it is hard to build the plane as you fly it. We start by understanding your needs and find solutions you can easily implement without much cost or training. Our approach is to first identify one simple, high-impact solution that frees up your time and resources and build up from there. Our goal is to help you stay focused on your core mission, not the technical details.
We understand the devil is in the details. It is critical to develop solutions that fit naturally with your organizational culture, the needs of your clients and the abilities of your volunteers. We know success means putting people first.
Robust, light and adaptable applications
It is all about accomplishing your goals. We do not build giant databases you need to commit to for the foreseeable future. Your goals and the world outside are always changing. Successful solutions should be efficient, easy to maintain, quickly developed and adaptable.
Getting your team of staff and volunteers to adopt a new system can take considerable time and resources. We are committed to building intuitive solutions everyone can easily use and to provide you with the training and technical support that you need.
Partnership and affordability
We are in the fight of our lives and we are in it together. We work with the intention of finding solutions that can benefit the whole movement. Partnering with us means that everything we learn working together can be shared with others in the movement. It also means that everything we learn with other partners, can be available to you.
SJP brings together expertise in strategic campaigning, communications, labor and community organizing with cutting edge technology to build robust, easy to use and culturally competent digital solutions.
SJP aspires to be the driving force behind scalable, efficient, and impactful solutions that enable our movements to confront the challenges of today, and win justice in the face of ever-changing circumstances.
