Project Euthyna
Democracy works when citizens show up. We make that power easy to use.
The power to shape what happens in government already belongs to you — through your vote, your voice, and your direct relationship with the people who represent you. Project Euthyna exists to help more of us use it: a structured record of what your representatives actually do, and the means to act on what you see.
Why “Euthyna”
Euthyna / yoo·THEE·nah / was the ancient Athenian practice that required every public official, at the end of their term, to render a public accounting of their actions to the citizens — what was done, measured against what should have been done. It sits at the root of democratic accountability, and it is a plain statement of what we think representatives should be evaluated on: what they do, in public, before the people they serve.
This isn’t a new idea. It’s one of the oldest.
What we do
We build the record: every measure, every recorded vote, every member, committee, and nomination of the current Congress, drawn from official government primary sources and kept current. Where we explain — what a cloture vote is, where a bill stands — the explanation is labeled as ours and the record stays verbatim.
And we help you act on what you see. Your representatives answer to you; the record is where acting starts. Federal coverage is live; we start there because every American has three people in Congress answering to them.
What we don’t do
We’re non-partisan. We don’t endorse candidates, and we don’t tell you what to think about what you see. We take one structural position: representative democracy is the right system, and it depends on people participating in it.
We’re new, but we’re not chasing an exit. No investors, no ads, no growth-at-all-costs. What’s fixed is the direction; what’s fluid is the form.
How this is sustained
There are no ads, no investors, and no sale of your information. Our goal is to serve the public in a way that sustains itself. There will be ways to support the work financially; contributions won’t be tax-deductible — we’re not a registered non-profit, and we’re not out to make a profit either. Your address is used to find your districts and never stored.
