About Us

Welcome to City Council Email, an initiative by the Department of Technology, designed to empower voters, taxpayers, and residents with direct, public access to their local city council members’ email communications. Our mission is simple: to promote transparency, accountability, and public engagement in local governance through accessible and easy-to-use technology.

Why We Exist

In today’s digital age, open communication between government officials and the public is essential for a thriving democracy. However, the tools to engage with elected officials often remain limited, leaving many residents feeling disconnected. City Council Email was created to bridge this gap, ensuring that you, as a community member, have the ability to stay informed about the decisions and discussions shaping your city.

Our Vision

Our vision is to create a well-informed public that plays an active role in local governance. By making city council members’ emails easily accessible, we aim to foster a culture of openness and responsibility among elected officials. With a transparent government, citizens can make more informed decisions and hold their leaders accountable.

Beta Testing Phase

Currently in its beta testing phase, City Council Email is being refined to offer the best possible user experience. We invite you to explore the platform, provide feedback, and help us improve this essential tool for civic engagement. Your participation will shape how local governments interact with their communities.

Who We Are

The Department of Technology, the driving force behind this initiative, is a civil society group dedicated to advancing the responsible use of technology in government. We believe that technological innovation can improve the transparency, efficiency, and accountability of public institutions. Our projects, like City Council Email, reflect our commitment to empowering communities through technology.
