Reading an article that matters? One click drafts a letter to your representative. Review, edit, send. Under 2 minutes.
Dear Senator Smith, I am writing regarding the state audit showing our transit expansion project is $127M over budget and 18 months behind schedule...
You care. But the system makes it hard.
No time to research
Finding who represents you, what level of government handles the issue, and how to contact them takes forever.
Don't know what to say
Writing a letter to an elected official feels intimidating. You're not an expert. What if you say the wrong thing?
Tab gets closed
The moment passes. You move on. Nothing happens. Your voice goes unheard, even though you cared enough to read the article.
The problem isn't that you don't care. It's that the gap between caring and acting is too wide.
From reading to action in four steps
GovPal bridges the gap between caring and doing. No research, no writing from scratch, no guessing.

Not a template blast

Built on trust and transparency
Civic participation requires trust. Here's exactly how GovPal protects yours.
Non-partisan
GovPal helps you contact your representatives regardless of their party or yours. We don't take sides — we help you be heard.
You approve everything
Nothing is sent without your explicit review and approval. You see exactly what will be sent and can edit every word.
Privacy-first
We don't sell your data. We don't share your information with third parties. Your civic participation stays between you and your representatives.
Real representatives
Your messages go to actual government contact systems. These are the same channels used by all constituents.
Your voice, not ours
GovPal doesn't speak for you. We help you speak for yourself. The message is yours, based on the article you chose to engage with.
"GovPal exists to make civic participation accessible to everyone. We believe democracy works better when more people participate. We will never compromise your privacy or manipulate your voice."
