Democracy is in crisis at a critical moment when we face seemingly insurmountable challenges from growing economic disparity, climate change, and a global pandemic. Despite increased and active involvement of citizens in the democratic process, our governing systems, stifled with deepening polarization, are halting progress.
Fortunately, pockets of innovators working inside and outside of states are developing new tools and methods for making group decisions, governing shared resources, and building tomorrow’s democratic infrastructure. This culture of “civic technology”, partly inspired by the activists of g0v in Taiwan and drawing energy from many communities and disciplines, is at the heart of the RadicalxChange movement.
