Organizations Filed Purposes: PUBLIC DEMOCRACY AMERICA, INC. EXISTS TO EDUCATE FAITHFUL AMERICANS AND OTHERS OF GOODWILL ON PRESSING MORAL VALUES ISSUES IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE AND ENABLE THEM TO STAND UP, SPEAK OUT, AND ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN BUILDING UP THE AMERICAN FAMILY AND COMMUNITY THAT HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AT THE CORE OF OUR SUCCESSFUL EFFORTS TO CREATE A MORE PERFECT UNION.

TWO HUNDRED AMERICANS DIE EACH DAY FROM OPIOID DEPENDENCY. THOUSANDS MORE CHILDREN, SPOUSES, AND PARENTS HAVE THEIR LIVES TORN APART BY THIS EPIDEMIC THAT HAS SWEPT ACROSS AMERICA. THERE IS NO SILVER BULLET TO SOLVING THE OPIOID CRISIS, BUT WE BELIEVE DIGITAL MARKETING AND BEHAVIORAL DATA TOOLS CAN BE BROUGHT TO BEAR TO DIVERT PEOPLE FROM A PATH TOWARD DEPENDENCY. THESE SAME TOOLS CAN ALSO ENSURE A BETTER DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES TO COMBAT OVERDOSES AND IDENTIFY PRESCRIPTION PROBLEM AREAS.SPECIFICALLY, WE CAN USE TOOLS AND TACTICS WE HAVE DEVELOPED THROUGH OUR PREVIOUS ONLINE CAMPAIGNS TO:1. IDENTIFY ONLINE BEHAVIOR PATTERNS OF INDIVIDUALS ENTERING DEPENDENCY AT THE POINT WHEN THEY ARE MOST OPEN TO TREATMENT AND WHEN WE CAN DIRECTLY ENGAGE WITH THEM, 2. PREDICT AREAS OF THE COUNTRY AT THE GREATEST RISK OF EXPERIENCING POTENTIAL SPIKES IN OVERDOSES, AND 3. FLAG SPECIFIC NEIGHBORHOODS AND PRESCRIPTION DRUG TYPES RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE SPIKES, TO ASSIST LAW ENFORCEMENT AND HEALTH AUTHORITIES IN IDENTIFYING UNSCRUPULOUS OPIOID PRESCRIBERS.

THE OPPORTUNITY ZONES PROGRAM WAS CREATED BY A BIPARTISAN BILL IN 2017, CONSIDERED A CRITICAL INITIATIVE FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND FIGHTING POVERTY BY BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE.THE PROGRAM AIMS TO DIRECT LONG-TERM PRIVATE INVESTMENT INTO UNDERSERVED U.S. MARKETS BY PROVIDING TAX INCENTIVES FOR DEPLOYING CAPITAL GAINS INTO SPECIFIED CENSUS TRACTS, WHICH HELPS THE ZONES BRING IN NEW INVESTMENTS THAT IMPROVE THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

AS MANDATED BY THE U.S. CONSTITUTION, AMERICA GETS JUST ONE CHANCE EACH DECADE TO COUNT ITS POPULATION. THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU COUNTS EVERY RESIDENT IN THE UNITED STATES. IT IS MANDATED BY ARTICLE I, SECTION 2 OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION AND TAKES PLACE EVERY 10 YEARS. NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE TO COUNT PEOPLE, WE HAVE TO KNOW WHERE THEY LIVE SO WE CAN PROVIDE ACCURATE POPULATION NUMBERS FOR COUNTIES, STATES, MUNICIPIOS, ETC. THESE NUMBERS ARE USED TO DRAW SCHOOL AND VOTING DISTRICTS.
