Keep it free for everyone.
Rallybase has no ads, no paywall, and sells no data. Knowing how your government works, who represents you, and when they meet costs nothing here and never will. Support from readers is what makes that possible.
This buys nothing. No perks, no badge, no early access, and no say in what the site reports about any official, party or issue. A civic record that supporters can lean on is not a record. If you want something in return, the honest answer is that there isn’t anything — and there shouldn’t be.
Where it goes
The data nobody else assembles
Districts, officials, meetings, bills and boundaries at one address, for each level of government we have read so far. Most of it comes from public sources that are free to read and expensive to keep current.
Keeping it up
Hosting, the database, the nightly syncs that notice when a council changes its agenda, and the checks that catch it when a source goes quiet.
Staying free
No paywall on anything that tells you how your government works, and no ads. The paid options are printing and postage — things that genuinely cost money to do for you.
Other ways
Organisations can sponsor a placement — clearly labelled, never political, and never allowed to change what the data says. If you’d rather not send money at all, using the site and telling one other person about it is worth more than most gifts.
