The Problem

Democracy in America is in trouble

Civitech seeks to combat two of the major challenges facing American democracy today. There are more than 500,000 elected offices in the United States, ranging from school boards and city councils to the presidency. Unfortunately, 75% of those races go uncontested each election cycle. 

Our country's future depends on the active participation of all citizens, yet many individuals often face barriers to voting. We are committed to removing these obstacles to ensure that every American can freely participate in democracy. Additionally, we strive to elect officials who reflect the diversity of our nation.

Our Vision

A fair new democracy for all Americans

Society is more equitable when leaders at every level compete on ideas and values, not the size of their technical teams or how much they’ve fundraised. We envision a world where everyone has the equal opportunity to vote, run for office, and communicate with elected officials.
