A grassroots political platform and organizing toolkit for economic justice in Denver. Built with Astro, deployed on Cloudflare Pages.

Denver For All is an open-source campaign framework that combines:

• 49 data-driven policy proposals across housing, labor, health, climate, public safety, education, and more
• 11 interactive tools for holding power accountable — eviction tracker, campaign finance transparency, candidate questionnaires, data stories, rent calculator, tenant rights chatbot, and more
• Organizing infrastructure (volunteer signup, candidate recruitment, newsletter, Signal group, Resistbot petitions)
• Bilingual support (English/Spanish) with full policy translations using i18n directory structure

The platform is designed to be forked, adapted, and reused by movements in other cities.

• Astro - Static site generator
• React - Interactive components
• TypeScript - Type safety
• Cloudflare Pages - Hosting (free tier)
• Cloudflare Workers + D1 - Serverless data tools
• vAPI - Voice AI for tenant rights chatbot
• Resend - Transactional email for newsletter signup
• Recharts + Scrollama - Data visualization and scrollytelling

The site is designed for Cloudflare Pages with Git integration:

1. Connect your repository to Cloudflare Pages
2. Set framework preset to Astro, build command to npm run build, output directory to dist
3. Add your custom domain

For detailed setup instructions covering email routing, newsletter capture, Google Forms, vAPI chatbot, Cloudflare Workers, and Spanish translations, see QUICKSTART.md.

Tools that require backend data (eviction tracker, campaign finance) use Cloudflare Workers with D1 databases. See workers/ for schemas and deployment instructions.

This platform is built to be adapted. To use it for a different city:

1. Fork the repository
2. Update policy content in src/content/policies/ with your local data, laws, and proposals
3. Add translations in src/content/policies-es/ (or your target language directory)
4. Update city-specific references in page templates
5. Replace Denver-specific data sources in Workers with your local equivalents
6. Update translations in src/i18n/

Contributions are welcome. See CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines on how to get involved. Areas where help is needed:

• Data sourcing and citation verification for policy claims
• Accessibility improvements (WCAG compliance, screen reader testing)
• New interactive tools for civic engagement
• Design and UX improvements
• Forking guides for other cities adapting the platform
