Plural North America

Our mission is to improve civic engagement by providing data and tools to help residents understand the legislative process that creates public policy. Our open data project, formerly known as Open States, is the leading source of standardized legislative data across state borders in the United States, since the project's founding in 2009. We aim to serve members of the public, activist groups, journalists, and researchers with better data on policy-making, and to provide tools to reduce barriers to democratic participation.

We offer state and federal legislative data in the United States and will continue to add policy data from Mexico and Canada.
