About Us

Big groups have always had a say in politics. Sway lets anyone build one.

We're a group-voting network for people who care about something and want it to count. Most of us already lean on someone we trust before we vote, like a friend, a pastor, or an influencer we follow. We turn those relationships into groups that vote together, so the people in office hear from all of us at once.

Sway: a plan to reimagine democracy

Our structure

Sway is a Public Benefit Corporation. That means doing good is written into how we're set up, not just something we say.

Our purpose is “ensuring that governance represents the collective will of the governed, everywhere.”

In plain words, we want the people in charge to answer to the people they serve. Sway is nonpartisan. We build the tools, and our users decide what to fight for.
