Connecting People to Policy Through Open Data
Welcome to the access-the-data wiki, your one stop shop to everything about this project.
Access the Data is a data catalog being built by volunteers at Hack for LA. It can be difficult to track down all of the data you need to advocate for your community, but with Access the Data, any municipality can set up their own data catalog where their communities can curate their own collection of local, open-government data. With this resource it will be easier for communities to understand how government decisions and policies are made on a local level and have the tools they need to participate in that process.

We are a team of researchers, designers, software engineers, and project managers volunteering at Hack for LA. As volunteers of Hack for LA, we have committed ourselves to improving our community and ourselves through product exploration and teamwork. Find us on the Our Team page!
