Broadsides were the original way to spread urgent news. Printed as large sheets and posted in public spaces, they delivered critical information directly to the people who needed it — all while being fast, clear, and to the point. That’s the same straightforward approach Broadside takes today: cutting through the noise to share the relevant facts about the bills and policies shaping our lives... all from one central location.

When everyone has access to clear information, real democratic change becomes possible.

Broadside makes it simple by starting with the source — the official text of bills straight from congress — and putting it right next to clear, plain-language explanations with the help of AI (Grok only for now). No spin, no wasted time. Just what you need to understand what’s happening and why it matters to you. The decisions that shape our world shouldn’t feel out of reach or hidden. No matter your stance on a topic, the access should be attainable for all current and future voters.
Broadside started as a personal project, something I created to make sense of and boost support of the topics I naturally felt pulled towards. Now, it’s here for anyone who’s tired of feeling left out of the conversation or confused by information circulating online. We’re starting small, but with your input, we’ll grow into something much bigger.
Thanks for joining me.
