Frankly is how to be heard, without having to pick a side.
Frankly is a free civic app for people in the United States. Type what you think, send it to your federal elected officials, and publish it publicly so your message creates pressure, not just another unread email. Post under your real name, or turn on Alter Ego to appear in the feed under a pseudonym.
Alter Ego lets you speak up without putting your real name in the public feed. Your message still goes to the officials you choose with your real name and contact information, so they know you're a real constituent. Only the public post shows your Alter Ego name instead of your real name.
What Frankly does
Frankly combines three things most tools keep separate:
- Direct delivery to the federal officials you choose
- A public feed so constituents and staff can see the message, under your real name or your Alter Ego
- A social layer — like, share, comment, follow, and repost so one voice can become many
It is like texting, social media, and a billboard had a baby: one that Congress cant ignore. In seconds, you type what’s on your mind. Frankly delivers it to them, and the country can see it.
When it’s public, it’s pressure. And everybody bends under pressure.
Why private channels fall short
- Phone calls? Offices often route you to voicemail. Tallies stay private.
- Traditional emails and contact forms? Easy to bury. Slow to fill out. Hard to repeat across officials.
- Posting on their socials? Easy for staff to dismiss as noise or bots.
Frankly is built so your opinion is both delivered and visible.
