WHAT IS “CAP”?
CAP or “Community Action Portal” is a civic action platform that makes local policy action accessible, fun, and community-driven. We’re tired of waiting for our elected officials to do the right thing. The system is inaccessible and confusing, so we built our own. We all benefit from connecting with our neighbors, tapping into our community, and feeling empowered through access to the tools to make change happen now.
