About Modern Action
Boilerplate for reporters.
Standard version
Modern Action is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit civic technology platform built to make government action easier to understand and easier to participate in. The platform helps people track active legislation, find their representatives, understand policy decisions in plain English, and contact Congress with messages tied to real bills and current issues. Modern Action is nonpartisan and does not endorse candidates or campaigns.
What Modern Action does
From the issue people care about to the office that decides.
Tracks what Congress is working on
Bills, votes, committees, and issue pages are tied to public government activity instead of generic awareness campaigns.
Explains issues in plain English
Modern Action turns legislation and current issues into clear summaries people can understand quickly.
Connects people to their representatives
Users can find their senators and House representative, then contact the relevant offices about specific issues.
Keeps action specific
Messages are connected to real bills, the user's stance, and the offices that can still act.
Trust and independence
Clear civic action, not persuasion.
A civic platform should not quietly steer what people think or send. Modern Action explains the issue, shows the bill, lets the user choose their stance, and keeps the message editable before it goes to Congress.
Nonpartisan
Modern Action does not endorse candidates, parties, or campaigns.
Registered nonprofit
Modern Action is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Donations are tax-deductible in the U.S.
No campaign or PAC funding
Modern Action does not accept money from campaigns or PACs.
User control
Users bring their own values. Modern Action provides context, infrastructure, and editable message-drafting tools.
Who is behind it
A small team building civic infrastructure.
Modern Action is built to make civic participation feel less confusing, less performative, and more directly connected to government decisions.
The goal is to help people move from reading the news to understanding what can actually be done about it: which bills matter, which offices can act, and what message belongs in front of those offices.
