Understand the issues you care about, send a message to your representatives, and see how they vote and where they stand.
People read, share, vote, donate, volunteer, and try to keep up for a reason. The things they care about are shaped by government decisions: rent, health care, wages, schools, immigration, climate, safety, privacy, technology, war, and the future they are trying to build.
News can tell you what happened without showing who has the power to act or what you can do next.
Congress introduces thousands of bills. It can be hard to tell which ones affect your issue, where they stand, or what to ask your representatives to do.
Start with an issue or bill. See the relevant legislation, choose what you want Congress to do, and review a message drafted for your representatives. Edit it and send when you're ready.

The news tells you what happened. Modern Action shows you what can still be done about it.
Choose your position and reasons. We will draft a message you can review and edit before sending.
Modern Action identifies the representatives with a role in the decision and shows the available action before you send. Contact can inform an office, but it cannot guarantee an outcome.
When a clear federal path exists, Modern Action connects the issue to relevant bills, votes, committees, and other actions instead of leaving you with a generic talking point.
Follow bills and issues to see status changes, recorded votes, and other updates after you act, so one message is not the end of the process.
Explore your representatives’ votes and public positions on issues you care about, where available.
Explore representativesA civic platform should not quietly steer what people think or send. Modern Action is built around a simple standard: explain the issue, show the relevant decisions, let the user choose their stance, and keep the message in their control.
Reader donations and grants keep Modern Action free. Ad revenue rewards engagement, not action. We already know which way that pulls a product.
Reader donations and grants support our work. Funders do not decide what we cover or how we frame it.
You choose the position and reasons. Modern Action provides the same context and message-drafting tools regardless of who introduced a bill.
Modern Action is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We're a small team of founders who saw a need for a clear path from caring about an issue to acting on it, without having to spend a Saturday reading bill text.
Modern Action is supported by reader donations and grants. That keeps the work focused on the people it is for.
Explore the issues you care about, see related legislation, and tell your representatives what you want them to do.
