I created the Brigade in . As I reconnect to the community, it greatly saddens me to see what has become of CfA.

It's not completely unexpected: ten years ago civic tech was groundbreaking and fundable. That all disappeared along with the Obama presidency.

Still, it's sad to see CfA transition from a community-focused organization to a union busting consultancy.

Back on the blog train:
The madness of trusting the consultant class and the illusion of nice things.

Talking about why consultants don't work for us, the failures of open data, and a nod to Code for America.

One nice thing about being a worker-owned, democratic organization rather than a hierarchical non-profit is we don't have to worry mass layoffs in response to union organizing.

New blog! đź“ť

We take a look at the UK's register of political parties, which was founded in 1998 to prevent confusion and impersonation on ballot papers. Today there are over 400 political parties on the register.

We've recently finished some work to improve access to the register from our 'Who Can I Vote For?' service. We hope this is only the first step towards a more comprehensive database.

Sommerpause? NIEMALS! Denn DEMOKRATIE SCHLÄFT NIE!!!! 🦸 🦸‍♂️ ... Oder so.

Naja Moment. Bei einer Wahlbeteiligung von 45% schläft die Demokratie vielleicht schon etwas.

Wir hecken was aus: fĂĽr den Feinschliff unserer Apps und mit @govote.ch
