Creating a safe place for members to heal and support one another

Alliance for Safety and Justice is building a future in which all communities are “Just Safe.” It is a multi-state advocacy organization that combines smart policy reform with organizing and representing survivors, people with old records, and the organizations that serve them.

ASJ contracted with Fíonta to build an Experience Cloud portal catering to two of its core programs: Crime Survivors for Safety (CSSJ) and TimeDone. These initiatives offer assistance and community to both crime survivors and people with old records. The primary objective was to establish a secure, authenticated online platform, enabling program members to interact, support one another, and engage with program services to influence local, state, and national policies.

ASJ prioritized the need for a robust member portal to address the challenge of disconnected data sources. They wanted a unified platform to leverage existing information about program participants and a way to empower participants to connect with each other and access resources.

01
Disconnected data sources

ASJ needed to unify existing information about program participants and empower them to connect and access resources.

02
Improving membership engagement

ASJ aimed to provide clear resources for joining and accessing support to enhance the overall member experience.

03
Fostering collaboration

Members required a platform to submit resources for sharing, fostering community collaboration and knowledge-sharing.

04
Showcasing successes

ASJ needed a platform to highlight and celebrate legislative victories, enhancing community pride and engagement.

Fíonta focused on leveraging technology to improve member engagement, streamline operations, and provide a valuable experience for CSSJ and TimeDone members. We implemented Experience Cloud to facilitate member participation in local events, chapter meetings, and legislative organizations, offering a vibrant, branded, user-friendly portal filled with valuable tools and resources. ASJ will utilize Experience Cloud alongside Salesforce to automate interactions between members and ASJ program staff, providing staff with essential data on member activity and breaking down programmatic silos.

Integration with Salesforce

Experience Cloud automates member interactions and gathers valuable data about member activity.

Analysis and design

A UI/UX expert analyzed requirements and proposed brand and design elements to enhance the portal’s usability and appeal.

Personalized experiences

Automations dynamically assign audiences to members based on program data from Salesforce, allowing for scalable onboarding of more programs.

Branded CRM data

Lightning Web Components securely surface important CRM data to external users within the portal, improving accessibility and usability.

ASJ’s portal represents a significant step forward in improving member engagement and streamlining operations. To ensure a smooth transition and optimize the user experience, ASJ will grant access to a select group of participants as part of a pilot phase. This pilot is a testing ground to gather feedback, fine-tune features, and address any potential issues before opening access to the broader user base. By taking this measured approach, ASJ aims to maximize the portal’s adoption while ensuring a seamless experience for all users. This rollout demonstrates ASJ’s commitment to leveraging technology to better serve its members and further advance its mission.
