Civitech is committed to making democracy accessible to all Americans.
We build the technology infrastructure that helps Democratic political candidates win, progressive social causes succeed, and local governments better serve their community to create a fairer, more equitable democracy.
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.
The New American Majority will determine our country's future, but young people, people of color, and women are often systematically blocked from their right to vote. We are working to remove the barriers to voting to ensure that all Americans can freely participate in democracy. Plus, we need to elect officials who represent the diversity of our country.
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.
At Civitech, our core values shape our culture, drive our decisions, and define our relationships with our partners.
We act with Integrity – At Civitech, we hold ourselves to the highest standards and value open and transparent communications with all of our stakeholders. Our rigorous approach to product design, testing, and data science leads to accurate assessments of our outcomes and challenges us to constantly improve our tools.
We are Changemakers – As a team, Civitech seeks to make transformational change in our democracy by eliminating obstacles meant to hamper contribution from every member of the community.
We are Collaborators - Buoyed by our mission, we look for opportunities to partner with everyone committed to making democracy easier to participate in. We seek to understand the challenges our partners face and use our skills and creativity to help solve them.
We are Bold – We recognize that disruptive change won’t come with doing business as usual. Civitech seeks to revolutionize civic participation by bringing innovation and creativity to politics.
