This runs on donations, not ads.
Modern Action is built by a small team to make Congress easier to understand. We do not run ads, we do not sell data, and we do not charge users. Donations keep the work public, independent, and free for everyone.
Why donations matter
Free civic tools usually get paid for somewhere: ads, data, sponsorships, or paywalls. We chose the harder model because it keeps the incentives clean: readers fund the work, so readers come first.
Monthly support matters most. It lets us plan the research, engineering, hosting, and reliability work that keeps Modern Action useful when Congress is moving fast.
