Civic Education Outreach

Our goal is to inform busy constituents about current political issues and viewpoints of government representatives in a summarized format and disseminate this data on a regular basis. This will help them make better decisions on how to take action.

Please answer a short 2-question survey to let us know about the issues you care about so we can drive more focused efforts.

Civic Youth Outreach

Our goal is to engage young people in learning about and participating in political discourse and increase their awareness of social and political issues. This will encourage them to reflect more about the social and political climate that impacts the lives of all Americans.
