Question 1

What Is E-Luminator?

Accepted Answer

In partnership with the non-profit Citizens For A New Louisiana, Watchmen Action is developing a Legislative Dashboard: a gold-standard platform that will aggregate all state-level bills in real time and provide a seamless way for our network of trusted partner organizations and their members to read, assess, and respond to proposed legislation.

Question 2

Why Do We Need Something Like This?

Accepted Answer

There is no consistent, structured mechanism for regular people—or leaders from principled, mission-driven organizations—to engage lawmakers at-scale in a way that is simple, direct, and respected. As a result, most lawmakers hear only from a narrow group of insiders, while the broader public is left without a seat at the table.

Question 3

What Will It Do?

Accepted Answer

Aggregate all state bills in an easy-to-navigate format... Empower partner organizations to view, assess, and recommend positions on legislation... Translate public will and expert insights into clear summaries for lawmakers... Display at a glance how many constituents, organizations, and influencers support or oppose proposed bills - and why.

Question 4

Why Is Watchmen Action Doing This?

Accepted Answer

There's a serious need for transparency & accountability, which aligns with the mission of Watchmen Action.  We're agile, we're solutionists (doers!) we're facilitators, and we have strong partnerships & connections.

Question 5

What's The Timeline For This To Roll Out?

Accepted Answer

May – June: Partner and donor alignment; finalization of dashboard features... July – August: Development and internal testing with early feedback from pilot partners... September: Beta launch in Florida timed with the start of the legislative session... October – December: Refinement and integration with additional partners... January 2026 and beyond: With the roll-out of the subsequent legislative session, the Dashboard will be adjusted to refine the capabilities with an eye for an eventual paywall for partner organizations.
