Fix My Community Powers Transparency, Participation, and Accountability Crowdsourcing can put many eyes to work spotting critical problems citizens face. Fix My Community, originally created by civic tech NGO MySociety, routes citizen-submitted reports together with photos to the key government institutions who can address them. By making complaints and government updates visible to the public, the tool helps officials demonstrate that they are taking action on the issues that concern citizens. Systems like Fix My Community have been used for reporting everything from potholes to bribes and are a useful bridge between citizens and their representatives.
