Making Congress understandable for everyone

Our purpose

Unum’s core purpose is to display elected officials and bills in the most coherent way possible and translate political jargon into understandable and meaningful takeaways. Every page is tailored to the user experience by prioritizing their target policy areas and their elected officials.

Unum puts the information that matters to you front and center: the bills being debated in your policy areas, how your representatives voted on legislation that affects you, and direct ways to reach them when it counts. Unum also provides suggested bills of the week in order to encourage you to keep up with current events by reading legislation for what it is, rather than through the lens of partisan media.

Laced throughout the tool are simple, intuitive information flows that allow people unfamiliar with the political process to learn at their own pace, as well as enable politically active users to maximize their knowledge and achieve targeted goals.

It is our ambition to push back against modern political disillusionment and embolden users of all backgrounds to meaningfully involve themselves in the civic realm, armed with an effective tool to advocate for their interests.
