Digital Democracy's mission is to empower marginalized communities to use technology to defend their rights. In a time of rapid technological advancement, we believe that technology can, should and must be used to promote civic engagement. From economic recession to devastating climate change, humans are facing complex challenges on a global scale. We believe human rights and environmental challenges are inextricably linked, and that new collaborations are necessary to resolve these seemingly intractable problems. We envision a future where all people can participate in the decisions that affect their lives. We work to push the edge of innovation to include marginalized voices, because people from the most-affected communities are integral to designing lasting solutions to protect the planet.We experiment with how the latest technology can be adapted to the use of local communities, to be owned and controlled by them. We are adapting existing open-source tools to work in offline environments, and prototyping tools that put communities in control of their own data, how it is published, and how their story is told.
