We envision a world in which all people, regardless of their identities, can access their rights, get services they need, and have a say in shaping the civic decisions, policies, and institutions that are important to them. 
Our mission is to use the power of art and design to increase meaningful civic engagement, in partnership with marginalized communities. 
We collaborate with community organizers and advocates, teachers and high school students, visual designers and artists, to make information about public policies accessible to the communities most directly impacted.

Mission and Vision

We believe in civic engagement as a creative action, and as an act of agency, power, and self-determination.

We use design and art as acts of inventing with purpose and intention, and as a way to create the world we want to live in.

We center communities who experience oppression and their expertise, solutions, and lived experiences. We support organizing and grassroots power-building.

We believe in transparency and accessibility and strive to make work that increases access to information, decisions, and power.

We strive to be accountable to each other and to our partners and communities; to be and create work that is trustworthy.

We believe in the power of collaboration to create meaningful experiences; strengthen ideas; bring different perspectives, skills, and experiences together; and create work that is more than the sum of its parts.

Our projects and partners reflect the diversity of people and issues impacted by public policies and institutions, but our work is consistently guided by these core values:
