This Widget gets it's Elected Official data from the Civil Services API.
The specific bills we keep track of are managed internally by our team.
Currently, the widget covers all state and federal representatives and the largest US cities. Legislator vote history is currently available for state legislators only; spanning issues of policing, gun violence, economic justice, reproductive justice, LGBTQ equality, immigration, voting rights, and healthcare. Note that the "Resistance" setting displays bills for all of these issues and "Default" displays bills on policing only.
To use this script, you simply need to add the following code anywhere on your website that you want the widget to show up:
<script async src="https://embed.mappingpoliceviolence.us/widget.js" charset="utf-8"></script>This will inject a widget into a newly created HTML element with the ID mapping-police-violence-widget directly above where you placed our script.
If you are unable to place JavaScript where you want the widget to go, you can use the following HTML directly:
<div id="mapping-police-violence-widget"></div>Then, include the following script tag anywhere else on your page:
<script async src="https://embed.mappingpoliceviolence.us/widget.js" charset="utf-8"></script>If you are using something like WordPress that just asks you for the URL for the script to put in your footer, you can use the following URL:
https://embed.mappingpoliceviolence.us/widget.js
NOTE: We no longer recommend the use of iFrames as they have proven to be be unreliable on most websites.
You can add one or all of the following Data Attributes on either our <script> or <div id="mapping-police-violence-widget"> Element to customize the text:
