The big picture

Who is moving the causes CSWH follows forward, who is pushing back, and where: from the news, bills and events the daily update finds, and what members share. Every number opens the items behind it, and every item links to its source.

About these numbers

Every morning CSWH's update reads public news, bills and events and judges each one: which causes it is about, whether it advances a cause or works against it, or is a neutral report, and where it happens. The newest 14 days are in Your feed; a daily record keeps every day's items for 400 days so trends can be followed (it holds 23 days, from Oct 10, 2026).
Each number is a count of items and opens exactly those items, each with a link to its source. Days with no data are hatched, not counted as zero.
"Advances" and "works against" are judged per item against each cause it is about, by an AI model that is asked to stay neutral and to cite; the source is always one click away to check.
Members' posts are those shared with everyone, counted by their topic hashtags; posts have no direction or place.
