POLISCOPE turns thousands of pages of government into a record you can read. Community is where you act on it: find the group working your issue, make the record make sense to others, keep up with the people and issues you care about, and weigh in. Every artifact is sourced, forkable, and attributed.
A group is a handful of neighbors working one thing: a rezoning, a school board seat, a budget line. Browse the groups near you, see what each is working on before you join, and start your own in a couple of minutes. Groups live here in Community - they are not a separate product.
Open the Studio to build a shareable card, a connection map, or a ballot guide from real, sourced data. Everything you publish is copyable and carries its lineage. Under the makers, browse what neighbors made by kind, and make your own from any of it.
Save the bills, people, topics, and orgs you care about. Saved shows one stream of what moved, and a bell on every line decides what pings you. Sort your research into folders along the way.
An organization gets a channel: a calling card, the positions it has declared against real records, and everything it has published. Groups and organizations share one page, which explains which of the two you want. Browse who publishes near you, follow the ones worth following, and claim a channel for your own org.
The calendar carries every meeting, hearing, and filing deadline we track, so a date never passes unnoticed. The officials directory carries who holds the seat and how to reach them. A group is how neighbors turn up to the same meeting together.
A front door that explains and points: it teaches what Community is in 30 seconds and routes to every section (Feed · Groups & orgs · Studio · Saved) plus the calendar and alerts.
