About Democracy Direct

Our Mission

Make civic engagement effortless, private, and accessible to everyone.

The Problem

Contacting elected representatives is unnecessarily difficult. Finding who represents you requires navigating multiple government websites. Representatives don't publish email addresses. Most people don't know how to write an effective letter. Existing tools require accounts and track usage.

Privacy

We believe civic participation should not require surveillance. We don't store your email address—when you log in, we hash it using SHA-256 and store only the hash. We don't log your ZIP code lookups. We never see your letters.

Data Sources

All representative data comes from public sources:

• unitedstates/congress-legislators - Legislator information
• Census Bureau - ZIP-to-district mapping
• Congress.gov - Voting records (coming soon)
