📢 Our Mission: A Fairer Future for Democracy
The system wasn’t designed to serve everyone equally, money in politics has turned a flawed democracy into a rigged game.
We believe there’s a better way.
A transparent, publicly accessible platform for elections—one that doesn’t depend on billionaires, PACs, or corporate media spin.

Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president. And the same thing applies to governors and US senators and congress members. So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors.
Jimmy Carter, 39th US president (2015) #anarchism #democracy #democracyreform #politics #auspol
The alliance of money and the interests that it represents, the access that it affords to those who have it at the expense of those who don’t, the agenda that it changes or sets by virtue of its power, is steadily silencing the voice of the vast majority of Americans.
Senator John Kerry (2013) #anarchism #democracy #democracyreform #politics #auspol
American democracy has been hacked... [Congress] is now incapable of passing laws without permission from the corporate lobbies and other special interests that control their campaign finances.
Al Gore (2013)

Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government, owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day.
Theodore Roosevelt, 26th US president (1912)

Of the two great 20th Century forces to escape obsolescence in the 21st, it’s the corporation that has come to dominate democracy, and not the reverse. This is probably because one has been allowed to evolve, and the other has not.

The global polling organisation Worldpublicopinion.org found the belief that government is run by and for ‘a few big interests’ is pervasive in France (59%), Britain (60%), Argentina (71%), Nigeria and South Korea (78%), the United States (80%), Mexico (83%), and Ukraine (84%)—all ‘democracies’.

For a well-functioning society, we need not to swing right or left: we require a political system by which informed majorities can craft a policy mosaic. Our present, inefficient form of democracy is likely to be replaced by authoritarianism, which is increasingly efficient. Reinventing democracy is not only desirable: it’s a condition for its survival.

Western voters now understand that the currency in which corporations support
politicians is money, and the currency in which they are repaid is policy. The result is a disenchanted populace, and a professional political class that rules the democratic void.

The hallmark division in modern society is probably not ‘left-right’, but the gap between ‘public preference’ and ‘public policy’—what the public wants from government and what it gets.

Self-government was innate to human societies for hundreds of millennia. It’s the human norm. We now have the tools to do it at scale. Democratic reform should top the list of every reformer, activist and idealist, as it carries within it the seed of all reform.

A tool like direct democracy begins as a rather dull technical matter, but downstream (so a lot of data tells us) it manifests as prosperity and health; as less war and inequality; as happier societies and stronger families.

Thanks to the labors of many, there are democratic tools at our disposal by which to make the sprawling Earth governable. One of these tools is direct democracy. Just as deliberation cuts the Gordian knot of dispersion, so does direct democracy undo the iron law of oligarchy.
