Civic Data Tech is an initiative that supports the open-source projects and maintainers powering civic data pipelines, working to keep civic data accessible, verifiable, and governed by open standards across all levels of government.
Rather than building a data tool itself, Civic Data Tech backs the foundational open-source projects and the people who maintain them, providing resources, collaboration, and standards support to sustain critical civic data infrastructure. It focuses particularly on filling coverage gaps across jurisdictions and ensuring civic data stays open, auditable, and interoperable.
