Democracy Moonshot

A Global Village of Innovation for a “Democracy Moonshot”.

We are a small group of innovators working to transform societies toward peaceful, collaborative co-existence built on a foundation of equality, justice, and democracy.

Our Vision

We are designing subscriber-supported digital spaces to facilitate respectful social interactions, a competition of ideas, and the formation of agreements across political divides. These agreements can be codified through coordinated civic and economic actions.

Core Application: The civ.works Pilot

The civ.works social networking pilot is in an early phase, with important features and functionality still being developed. The [two-minute animation video] above provides an overview of our vision for the core civic social network.
