Parsons, named after Lucy Parsons, is a Python package that contains a growing list of connectors and integrations to move data between various tools. Parsons is focused on integrations and connectors for tools utilized by the progressive community.
Parsons was built out of a belief that progressive organizations spend far too much time building the same integrations, over and over and over again, while they should be engaged in more important and impactful work. It was built and is maintained by The Movement Cooperative.
The Parsons community is centered around the Parsons Slack. To get an invite, email [email protected]

The source code for Parsons is available at our Github repository, and the documentation for that code is here.
