I’ve been involved in youth advocacy since high school, working directly with the Virginia General Assembly. I’ve carried that work into college at UVA, collaborating with professors and fellow students who care about the same things I do.

Along the way, one thing became impossible to ignore: the legislative process is built for insiders. Bills that shape real lives are buried in legalese, procedure, and deadlines that most people never hear about until it’s too late to speak up.

Legisly is my answer. It uses AI to simplify the legislative process — so everyday individuals and youth advocates can exercise their rights and stay aware of the bills that affect them and the world around them.
