We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Our mission is to facilitate and produce investigative research that supports strategic community action and empowers citizens to hold their leaders accountable.

Our focal project is LittleSis, an open database of connections between powerful individuals and institutions. The site brings transparency to influential social networks by tracking the key relationships of politicians, corporate leaders, lobbyists, and their affiliated organizations. Users can browse profiles of people and groups, explore the links between them, find resources for further investigation, and add research of their own.
