Insights by Murmuration is where data and storytelling come together to give you a real-time look into civic life in America. Developed by Murmuration, a nonprofit that provides organizations working at the community level with the data, tools, and insights they need to shape the future for the better, Insights brings together compelling stories and data-driven analysis to help readers deepen their understanding of how American civic life is evolving — and what that means for the future.
At Murmuration, we believe that local community-led organizing has infinite power to create positive change through collective action and civic engagement. Across the country, people are showing up for their communities in big and small ways. They’re advocating for safer streets, fighting for clean air, helping neighbors get to the polls, and trying—day by day—to build a better future. But too often, those stories, those efforts, and those voices are overlooked.
We’re connecting the dots between what’s happening on the ground and what it means for the future of our democracy. We’re lifting the voices and lived experiences of people across America who are navigating a complicated civic landscape with grit, hope, and purpose.
Our goal is simple: to offer a clearer picture of civic life in America—and to spark a conversation about how we move forward, together.
Here’s what you can expect.
Timely snapshots of how communities across the country are feeling and responding to current events and civic trends gleaned from Civic Pulse, Murmuration’s real-time listening tool.
Interviews with thought leaders, organizers, and changemakers who are shaping civic life and defining what meaningful participation looks like.
Informative research to help power community engagement and drive meaningful change.
On-the-ground perspectives from organizers, advocates, and changemakers working every day to build a more just, equitable, and democratic America.

About Murmuration
Murmuration is a nonprofit organization that provides organizations working at the community level with the data, tools, and insights they need to fuel their civic engagement efforts and shape the future for the better. Our partners work on some of our nation’s toughest issues — hardened challenges that require the day-in and day-out determination of communities working together to drive change. Yet, too often, these skillful organizers lack access to technology that could supercharge their efforts. At Murmuration, we’re helping communities change our most broken systems with a civic tech infrastructure designed specifically for them. Learn more at murmuration.org.
