Problem

Campaigns broadcast to ghosts.

35%

of political donor lists are bots, duplicates, or out‑of‑district names. Officials pay more every cycle to reach fewer real humans.

Solution

One channel. Built on the research.

SMS is blocked at the carrier level. Email raises less per send every cycle. Paid social CPM climbs every election window with no proven persuasion effect.

Parla's patent-pending AI surfaces only the persuadable voters in each district. Citizens are face-, phone-, and state-verified. One person, one account.

877%

more long-term reach than email, SMS, and paid social combined.
