our first effort is the 2026 california initiative data project, 

providing transparency into how propositions get on to the ballot in November

email us at connect@unlock.org to work with us.

about us

we engage voters while gathering signatures, then connect them with more information about what's on the ballot in November.

we are non-partisan and do not endorse or oppose initiatives or propositions.

a portion of the proceeds from paid signature gathering goes to finance the operation and expansion of our platform.

how it works

when we engage voters while gathering signatures, we offer them the option to connect with us for further information about the initiatives they're most interested in, both those voters who signed or refused, and those who needed more information. 

we provide updates about where they can connect with us to sign in the near future, should they decide to do so, to further support our work.

when those initiatives become propositions, we provide insights based on data, including the 'wisdom of the crowds' surfaced during the signature gathering process. 

advocacy organizations that meet ethical, transparent anti-spam and anti-scam requirements may be offered limited opportunities to connect with those who signed initiatives to mobilize them further, both for _and_ against the proposition. 

as we scale, we're also creating a platform for participating grassroot advocates to stay connected with those who signed with them, to reconnect in the future.

by providing both transparency and the opportunity for advocacy, we create a more efficient, honest marketplace of ideas, empowering voters with more information while enabling honest grassroots advocates to become more effective.

we are actively working to create secure infrastructure for an email list. for now, follow us on instagram, twitter, or bluesky.
