We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that fights hidden influence in US politics by building tools that automate the analysis of open data
Code for Democracy helps journalists, researchers, and open government advocates investigate relationships between campaign contributions, political narratives, and legislative outcomes. Our mission is to strengthen democratic processes by creating digital tools that support free and fair elections, open governance, and fact-based public policy.
Code for Democracy started as a volunteer-driven meetup in NYC, SF, DC, and Boston in 2017 and gained its nonprofit status in 2019. We are a non-partisan, values-based organization driven by our commitment to transparency and accountability.
