Your city officials are making
big decisions.
We’ve made it easy to keep tabs.
The problem
Local government bodies hold thousands of public meetings every day—but the vast majority receive no media coverage and
produce minimal records.
And these important spaces for democracy go unwatched.
Our solution
We train & pay people like you to attend these meetings and publish the results in collaboration with local journalists.
