What is DirectGov?
DirectGov is a civic engagement platform that empowers citizens to propose, debate, and promote policies. We believe that democracy works best when everyone participates in shaping the policies that affect their lives. It's time to reclaim our democracy from the billionaires and special interest groups who too often control our government.
How It Works
1. Propose
Submit your policy idea with a title, description, and outline of key provisions.
2. Analyze
Get a congressional bill draft, fiscal impact analysis, and equity assessment.
3. Engage
Collaborate with other citizens to refine ideas.
4. Promote
Share proposals on social media and advocate with your representatives to turn proposals into laws.
