Our Mission

Plaintext Politics was founded on the belief that a healthy democracy requires a shared language. For too long, the barrier to entry in civic life has been guarded by dense jargon, complex policy speak, and gatekept information that alienates the very people it affects most. We believe that if you can't understand how a law works, you can't truly consent to it.

Our mission is to strip away the noise and provide clear, digestible, and culturally relevant reporting that puts power back into the hands of the people. By prioritizing clarity over complexity, we aim to close the engagement gap for minority communities and underrepresented voters, ensuring that every citizen regardless of their education level or background has the tools they need to show up at the polls with confidence.
