About Oravan

Oravan is free, nonpartisan civic infrastructure: find your federal representatives, understand active bills in plain language, and make a 30-second call — in English or Spanish, with no account and no server-side record of your political activity.

Oravan is a coined name — part oration, part caravan: one voice setting out, many arriving together.

Who pays for this?

Oravan is independently run and founder-funded. It costs a few hundred dollars a year to host and maintain, currently paid out of one person's pocket. There are no ads, no sponsors, and no investors — and nothing to sell, because we collect no personal data.

Oravan is built and run by Colby Maxwell. The full source code is public: github.com/cm2489/oravan

If Oravan is useful to you, you can chip in to keep it running. Contributions support hosting and upkeep and are not tax-deductible. Support Oravan

Independent, and reachable

Oravan is an independent, nonpartisan project — not a campaign, a party, or a PAC. Its promises are built to be verified, not trusted: no account, no tracking, and nothing about you kept on a server. For a correction, a question, or a partnership inquiry, the feedback link at the bottom of any page reaches a real person, or email us at hello@oravan.org.
