This would likely need to be a tool for local organizing that contains manuals. most of the information on the tool will be out of date and there needs to be a clear process for how to make it up to date, despite that people who potentially disagree with each other strongly would be updating it. AI could be included in the tool to help update it, but AI couldn’t be the final authority at this time.
some references for content I’d suggest including, at least by reference—I make absolutely no attempt to be neutral in my recommendations:
best match I know of, after significant effort spent looking over several months: https://localwiki.org/ - but it isn’t quite what you want, and also it’s slow and underpopular
I don’t know of a tool that filters by interests like that
some bonus resources I think are relevant to effective organizing—note that you don’t have to completely agree with these resources to learn from them and produce worlds that are better in subsets of the ways the authors intend:
some more non-electoral resources I’ve encountered recently but which I’m not sure are good-according-to-me yet, and I link anyway because they seem promising based on initial assessment and how I discovered them:
http://foodnotbombs.net/new_site/ (specific resource for aiding the poorest in an area with food, as far as I know this is one of the very highest options for local impact altruism, which can have second-order impacts via network effects that I think are undervalued by EA messaging; not sure they’re undervalued by EA funders though, idk about that part)
https://netcentriccampaigns.org/7-elements/ (unsure I would feel comfy linking this site to someone without also linking c4ss, since their perspectives are compatible but may be too narrow without each other)
https://www.mutualaidhub.org/ (looks extremely promising for direct aid, which is key for connecting with a local community for the long haul, not so helpful for making a difference with only the aid of electoralism)

https://www.congress.gov/state-legislature-websites maybe? each site varies and some are very very slow. utah was fast, georgia was fast, alabama never loaded for me.

https://github.com/StampyAI/stampy-ui looks like an interesting tool to use on something like this
