What People Are Saying

I really appreciate the ability – as a parent, working full time especially – to keep City Council meetings on my mind — through my email inbox. It feels like more than just a passive way to stay involved – it allows me to scan, share/forward in the native environments I’m spending throughout the workday.

ChrisBelfast, Maine

This is incredibly exciting. I have been passing the word here. I have already found it immensely easier to consume important information from city council meetings without having to attend them or watch the videos after the fact. Thank you for what you are doing. It will really help improve public engagement with local politics.

This is great… I breezed through the summaries that were relevant and clicked on a video & was excited to feel like I was attending the meeting with clear audio and video. Thanks!
