21 Hustle Testimonials

"We knew we wanted to have people hear from us and ask how they were doing. We segmented our list of alums and donors in 'hard-hit areas' and texted our supporters in New York, New Jersey, Washington, etc., just to see how they were holding up and let them know we were thinking about them. We also reached out to our nursing and health care alumni to check-in. And the response blew us away. People couldn't believe how thoughtful we were to reach out by texting, and it was a great touchpoint before we started soliciting for unrestricted or emergency support in Spring 2020."

“Voting rights are constitutional rights.”

“I think it could work well for our upcoming reunion when our alums come back and celebrate their different milestones, we know alumnae want to give, they just need the reminder, and I think Hustle will be an effective way to correspond with them.”

"Lead in the quality of the liberal arts education [they] offer, in the opportunities [they] provide to talented students, and in the cultivation of friendship as a private good and civic necessity. "

"Being able to have one-on-one conversations with donors and answer their questions so quickly is incredibly valuable. I’m able to listen to their concerns and respond empathetically."

"Hustle allowed us to connect with alumni in a way that we couldn’t previously. In particular, we know young alumni do not want to answer the phone, but a text is something they will automatically reply to."

“Compromise is often necessary [in politics], but entire marginalized identities are not expendable chess pieces.”

“We chose Hustle because the platform was user-friendly. It was an essential tool that helped us leverage sophisticated targeting across our organizing program, which helped us win 90% of the vote in our primary, and ultimately led to Sarah winning her seat in Delaware’s state senate.”

“I look forward to being your partner as we continue to grow Arizona’s role in national defense and space technology.”

“Whether they have lost their jobs, they cannot get the healthcare they deserve, or they are working several full-time jobs, the Democratic Party will fight for them.”

“We found the Hustle platform easy to use, and the technology allowed our campaign to reach a big part of our universe of voters. Our campaign relied on texting because it is an innovative and efficient way to reach voters.”

“All state parties should use Hustle. Hustle has allowed us to maximize our most valuable resource: time. We have engagements with more constituents more often more quickly."

"It was really great to be able to connect with the donor base and have those positive, tiny conversations. We talk a lot about heavy things, so lighter conversations were a nice change of pace. The Hustle even resulted in a major gift from a new donor through the conversation we had. That never wold have happened with an email."

“The guests are thankful to know that there’s a real person behind our event invitations and are always flattered that we care enough to send them text reminders—yes, we want you there!”

"By allowing our team to efficiently scale outreach while continuing to provide personalized support, peer-to peer texting has helped us connect more New Yorkers to services: enrolling more people in the healthcare plan that meets their needs, successfully navigating complicated housing issues for more tenants, and increasing democratic participation in communities with historically low voter registration and turnout rates."
