Eric and Jason in 2005
Rally Starter began with one person trying to help a friend.
In 2014, journalist Jason Rezaian was imprisoned in Iran.
Jason is a longtime friend of Eric Facas, founder and CEO of Media Cause, a nonprofit marketing agency. As Jason's family, friends, and supporters searched for ways to help, Eric saw how difficult it was to coordinate advocacy efforts and reach decision-makers.
He built a simple tool that allowed supporters to contact the people and institutions connected to Jason's case.
That effort became the foundation for Rally Starter.
The world doesn't change because people care.It changes because people act.
Every campaign starts with someone who sees a problem and decides to do something about it.
A nonprofit working to advance its mission. A parent advocating for their child's school. A community leader organizing neighbors around a local issue.
These are the people who create change. But too often, the tools needed to organize supporters and mobilize action are expensive, complicated, or built for large teams.
We created Rally Starter to make advocacy more accessible, giving nonprofits, organizers, and communities a simple way to bring people together, reach decision-makers, and make a difference on the issues they care about.
Built by people who know advocacy
Rally Starter is powered by Media Cause, an award-winning nonprofit marketing agency that helps mission-driven organizations grow and accelerate their impact.
