Linking beauty and
purpose can create a
sense of communal
agreement that helps
diminish the sense of
disorder and incoherence
that life creates.

Our Values
We believe that increased participation by
youth and members of the emerging middle
class in the political process will help bring
about greater accountability and transparency.
!
We are non-partisan and independent. We
don’t accept money from government or
political parties.
!
We believe that the internet can serve as a
school for a more robust democracy.
!
We are committed to open source sharing.
We value remix and reuse.

Campaign Issues Checklist
▢ RIPE ! SALIENT
Is the issue in the news/being talked about? Is it something that has strong public support
and a groundswell of concern among our target audience?
!
▢ ACTIONABLE
Can Meu Rio or its members “do” something about the issue? Is there a concrete and
plausible political, social, or cultural action that can be taken to affect change?
!
▢ POLITICAL/CULTURAL IMPACT
Meu Rio’s goal is to build a more participatory and open political culture in Rio. While not
every campaign needs to directly influence the political process, each campaign should
have some short, medium, or long term political objective or impact on behavioral/cultural
change among the citizens of Rio.
!
▢ COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE
Is this an issue or campaign where Meu Rio can take a leadership role while working with
other partner organizations working in the same space? Does Meu Rio have a comparative
advantage because of our member base, brand equity, and/or innovative use of technology?
!
▢ EARNED MEDIA/LIST GROWTH
Will running the campaign generate free earned media and/or promote Meu Rio
membership growth?
30. Lee-Sean Huang / ls@foossa.com / @leesean
Campaign Tactics Checklist
▢ CONNECTIVE
Does it relate to existing user behaviors and social dynamics? Does it bring the community tighter
together or connect people closer with their decision makers?
!
▢ PARTICIPATORY
Is it open-ended enough to invite participation but guided and usable enough to actually use?
!
▢ USER SERVICE
Does it have a clear theory of change? Does the experience inspire, delight, or motivate users?
!
▢ SCALABLE
Does it “work” (both technologically and compelling for users) for 5 users as well as it does for 5
million)?
!
▢ REUSABLE
Can it be reused/repurposed by Meu Rio for future campaigns and not just a one-off novelty?
!
▢ HACKABLE
Is it open source/open API? Can it be reappropriated by users/hackers in new, exciting, unexpected
ways or used by other cities/movements?
!
▢ AWESOME/INTANGIBLES
Is it “magical”? Compelling in an intuitive/emotional way? Does it have that certain “je ne sais quoi”?
