CommunityMind gives everyday residents a personalized feed of every city decision that affects their life — explained in plain language, with context, and with a direct line to their representatives.
"City government feels opaque and inaccessible. Meetings are long, agendas are confusing, and by the time you find out something affects you, the vote has already happened. You feel like your voice doesn't matter — and honestly, you're not sure where to even start."
Build your civic profile in 2 minutes by selecting the dimensions of your life that matter to you. Get a personalized feed of initiatives that match your situation — housing, transportation, budget, schools. Comment publicly, contact your council member directly, and set alerts for upcoming votes. Your voice matters. We'll help you use it.
Every feature is designed around your workflow and your goals.
Select from 80 persona dimensions that describe your life. Your feed is personalized to what actually affects you — not everything, just your things.
Set alerts for upcoming meetings where your issues are on the agenda. Never miss a vote that affects your neighborhood again.
Share your perspective on any initiative — publicly or anonymously. Your voice becomes part of the official civic record.
One-click access to your council member's contact info, office hours, and a direct message composer — no more hunting for phone numbers.

Scenario
You just moved to a new city and have no idea what's going on in local government. You're a renter, work in tech, care about transit and climate.
Outcome
You build your civic profile in 2 minutes (Young Urban Renter + Gig Worker + Environmental Activist + Tech Worker). Your feed immediately shows 4 active initiatives relevant to your life: a transit expansion proposal, a rental assistance program, a climate action plan, and a rezoning near your apartment. You set alerts for all 4 and comment on the transit proposal.
Scenario
The school district is proposing to close your child's elementary school due to budget cuts. You want to fight it but don't know how.
Outcome
CommunityMind shows you the full history of the proposal, the upcoming vote date, and the 3 council members most likely to support keeping the school open. The Contact Your Rep tool lets you send a personal message to all 3 in under 5 minutes. The Public Comment Coach helps you write a 2-minute statement for the meeting.
Scenario
You're a 72-year-old homeowner on a fixed income. You're worried about a proposed property tax increase but feel intimidated by the civic process.
Outcome
Your civic profile (Senior on Fixed Income + Long-term Homeowner + Fiscal Conservative) surfaces the tax proposal immediately with a plain-language explanation of exactly how it affects you. The anonymous comment option lets you share your concern without feeling exposed. The meeting alert tells you exactly when and where to show up.
