Countable CEO: 'Thank You'

Dear Countable Friends—

What a year 2018 has been. We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve learned, we’ve reacted—regardless of whether you’re a (D), (R) , or (I), I’m sure the one thing we can all agree on is that it’s been quite the roller coaster ride. As the clock ticks down to midnight, and we prepare to hang that brand new 2019 calendar up on the wall, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you.

Truly. Thank you.

Thank you for your opinions, your questions, your comments, your activism. Thank you for making the not-always easy effort to stay informed, and for fighting that urge to disengage from our increasingly polarized political environment. Thank you for listening to new perspectives, and for weighing in with the openness and civility that our democracy desperately needs.

It is thanks to you that we sent over 748,000 messages to Washington this year.

But our work is far from done. As it turns out, democracy is tough. Next year, this growing community will be more important than ever. We need to be able to talk to each other as Americans, regardless of our personal perspectives. We must be willing to reach out to challenge and educate one another, and to put the microphone behind new voices to empower tomorrow’s leaders.

As we charge into the year ahead - hopefully after a healthy dose of New Year’s celebrations - we want to hear from you. Please, send us your thoughts, questions, and feedback. Together, I can’t wait to see what this community will achieve. America is waiting.

Happy New Year,

Bart Myers (Countable Founder & CEO) and the Countable Team
