Searchable Civic Data

The largest collection of searchable civic meeting data in the US and Canada. Meeting minutes, agendas, and campaign finance data from 1,013 municipalities. 12,854,990 pages and counting. A project from the Raft Foundation.

Local government decisions affect everything from housing to transportation to schools, but finding out what your city council is discussing shouldn't require hours of digging through PDFs or attending meetings in person.

CivicBand automatically collects, processes, and makes searchable the public records from municipal governments across North America. Whether you're a resident keeping tabs on your city, a researcher studying local policy, or a journalist investigating a story, we provide the tools you need.
