A civic action app for the rest of us · Beta
Democracy isYou.
We’re building a civic tool that will show every candidate in your district — and exactly who funds them. Real transparency, in minutes, not money.
How it works
Three steps, two minutes, every morning.
I Am Democracy is being built around a daily rhythm. The first day will take five minutes. Every day after, two.
01
Type your zip code.
We’ll pull every federal, state, and local race in your district from the FEC and your state’s filings. No account needed to look.
30 seconds02
See who funds them.
Each candidate will get a card with their funding profile — small-dollar, large donor, PAC, or dark money. The bar tells the whole story.
2 minutes03
Take one action.
Call your senator. Send an email script we’ll provide. Share a card with your network. Volunteer an hour. Pick the one that fits your day.
2–5 minutesThe killer feature
Where does the money come from?
A candidate’s funding profile is the most predictive piece of public information about how they’ll vote. We’re building I Am Democracy to make it impossible to miss.
- →Will pull from OpenSecrets and FEC.gov. Public record. No editorial.
- →Four buckets: small-dollar (≤$200), large donor, PAC, and dark money (501(c)(4) and untraceable).
- →One bar tells the story. In this mockup, Daniel shows 78% small-dollar; Robert, 42% dark money. You decide what to do about it.
- →Will refresh daily when the pipeline is live. Filings come in, the cards refresh. No waiting for an exposé.

The co-founders
Four co-founders who got tired of waiting.
We’re not a think tank. We’re not a PAC. We’re four co-founders building the civic-transparency tool we wished existed.
