How it works

Three steps between you and Richmond

  1. Step 1

    Pick the issues you care about

    Schools, housing, climate, healthcare — tell us what matters to you and where in Virginia you live.

  2. Step 2

    We translate every relevant bill

    When a bill touches your issues, we explain in plain English what it actually does — and to whom.

  3. Step 3

    Know when and how to weigh in

    See where each bill is, what happens next, and the exact moment your voice counts — hearings, comments, votes.

What an alert looks like

Bills, in plain English

No legalese, no bill-number soup. Every update leads with what it means for you — and how urgent it really is.

Example alert: “Smaller class sizes could be coming to your school” — a plain-language summary of Virginia bill HB 2210 with its urgency, status, and next deadline.

A sample alert — yours will match the issues you pick.
