01
Radical Transparency
These records were made in your name and paid for with your money. You should not have to ask twice to read them.
Accountability is not a request. It is a requirement.
Democracy dies in the dark.
So we turn the lights on. The meeting happened. The contract got signed. The vote went through on a consent agenda before anyone could object. Every one of them left a document behind — and every document is in here.
Reports
The record does not lie. It just gets buried.
Every decision your local government makes leaves a paper trail. Meeting minutes. Budget approvals. Contract awards. FOIA responses. Most of it never sees daylight — not because it doesn't exist, but because nobody went looking. Catalyst Civic goes looking. Then we publish what we find where it cannot be quietly buried again.
Search the evidence
Agendas, minutes, budgets, and FOIA responses in one searchable place. Not a summary of the record — the record.
Undeniable proof
Still accurate when the denial comes six months later. Still citable when they say it never happened.
Local power, exposed
The boards, the budgets, the contracts, the votes. The mechanisms of local power that shape your daily life and almost never make the news.
Values
We yield to none of it.
02
Unyielding Accountability
Familiarity, tenure, and title do not dilute scrutiny. The record is the record.
03
Permanent Record
Published once, preserved for good. Nothing here quietly disappears because it became inconvenient.
