Create Social Change
Help us build the eDemocracy Network
Are you frustrated by the state of democracy? So are we. That’s why we’re creating the eDemocracy Network
The eDemocracy Network will be a community of passionate, engaged individuals like you who want to…
- Empower people of all backgrounds to have a say in the social, environmental, and economic decisions that affect them.
- Help find solutions to society’s most divisive and complex problems (such as climate change, police reform, systemic inequality, etc.).
- Equip grassroots organizers and elected officials with the data, strategies, and tools they need to enact real change.
- Build a more equitable, inclusive, and fair approach to democracy.
Joining the eDemocracy Network is totally free. There are no age limits, no minimum education, and no time requirements, because we believe a strong democracy is founded on diversity.
