About us page content

[adborden]

We had discussed an "About us" page which would give some context about California Civic Lab and the Disclosure project. The "About us" page doesn't exist and we don't have a mockup yet.

Here's a version I came up with from the wiki page, which could be updated to match the About us page:

California Civic Lab is a coalition of Code For America Brigades working to improve accessibility of local campaign finance data to ordinary voters across jurisdictions in California. Currently, campaign finance data is tied up in various forms, only eight percent of these jurisdictions provide this data in machine-readable digital form. For seventy-nine percent of California jurisdictions, forms are only available on request in paper form. We're hoping to change that.

@sseiter someone mentioned at the meeting today that you could take on this task, feel free to re-assign.
