GetThru was created by veterans of Bernie 2016, where we helped build the campaign’s historic voter contact operation. In the process, we saw the need for better technology for large scale 1-to-1 interaction that reaches people where they are—on their cell phones. So after leaving the campaign, we created ThruText, our P2P texting platform. Two years later, we released our phone calling solution, ThruTalk. More than 1,000 organizations— including political campaigns, advocacy groups, unions, colleges, universities, independent schools, and government agencies—have used our tools. They’ve sent over 180 million text messages and made more than 40 million calls for event recruitment, volunteer engagement, fundraising, voter identification and outreach, polling, and more. And while our roots are in progressive politics, we love partnering with organizations of all kinds that share our passion for creating a better world.

We join together today to celebrate the 61st anniversary of the March on Washington. This historic day marked a pivotal turning point in the fight for civil rights in this country, and at its heart was the strategic brilliance of Bayard Rustin—a Black gay man whose leadership and vision were instrumental in orchestrating this monumental event. Bayard Rustin was an organizer and a trailblazer who understood the interconnectedness of all struggles for justice. Despite facing prejudice within the very movement he helped lead, Bayard remained steadfast in his commitment to equality. His courage in the face of adversity paved the way for countless others, including all of us who continue to fight for the rights of people at the intersections of LGBTQ rights and other vulnerable communities. The stakes for the LGBTQ community in Georgia and across the American South have never been higher, and the consequences have never been more dire. The onslaught of legislative efforts across the past decade has increasingly targeted the rights and protections of LGBTQ individuals, presenting a significant threat to their civil liberties. The implications of this year’s elections could set the course for either the advancement or the regression of LGBTQ rights resistant to progressive change on a legislative level. It is a moment of profound consequence and one that demands our utmost attention and action. Beyond voting, we must engage in community organizing, support advocacy groups fighting for LGBTQ rights, and hold our elected officials accountable to ensure that the path forward is inclusive and equitable. ~ Eric Paulk, Chief of Staff, ProGeorgia

🌟 Shoutout to Brian Meeker for rocking Stir Trek this year! 🌟 We’re super proud of Brian, who gave an awesome talk sharing how our team tackled a big scaling problem with some clever tech solutions, breaking down our new data processing pipeline and how we made our system more flexible for the future. Even if you don’t have a software development background, Brian’s insights are super interesting and definitely worth a watch! You can see the full session title, description, and link below. Messaging With Limits: Concurrent, Multi-Stage Data Processing in the Real World -- Our team at GetThru found ourselves with a scaling problem. Working with our existing infrastructure for sending text messages was becoming increasingly complex. Years of bewildering external requirements had led us to the point where the existing system was both incorrect and difficult to reason about. In this session, we'll go over a case study of our new concurrent, multi-stage data processing pipeline. Starting from the fundamentals, we'll see how our team efficiently handled our existing external requirements and built in flexibility for the future. Finally, we'll look at how we did all of this in our existing monolith, avoiding the complexity of microservices.
