Keep Civic Docket public and current

Civic Docket is built to make congressional records easier to follow without partisan framing, paywalls, or campaign-style incentives. Optional support helps cover the practical costs of keeping the site available and up to date.

What support covers

  • Hosting, domain, and infrastructure costs that keep the site available.
  • Ongoing maintenance for official-source congressional records, refresh jobs, and page fixes.
  • Time spent improving readable, nonpartisan public access to votes, bills, members, and election research.

Independence rules

  • Support does not affect coverage, rankings, summaries, or visibility in the product.
  • This is not a sponsorship program, donor leaderboard, or pay-to-access service.
  • Where possible, support should remain publicly anonymous by default.
