Democracy Moonshot

A Global Village of Innovation for a "Democracy Moonshot".

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

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

Think "Kitchen Table Democracy" scaled into millions of engaged citizens.

Our core application, https://social.civ.works is in an early pilot phase with important features and functionality still being designed and built. A two-minute animation provides a overview of our vision for the core civic social network:

Aside from capital, grants, donations, and sponsorship, we need software engineering and program expertise:

Engineering:

• UI/UX design for web, iOS, and Android.
• System architecture (performance optimization/scalability, security, resilience).
• Devops.
• Data Architects for Federation/Portability of subscriber/user data.
• AI for conversational facilitation of subscriber to subscriber conflict resolution and formation of agreements.
• Frontend iOS, Android, and web development, and database engineers.

Program:

• Trusted journalists and news agencies for consuming news and informational content predicated upon facts, evidence, and science.
• News fact-checking organizations to defend the platform from the spread of propaganda and disinformation.
• Behavioral scientists to assist AI-based facilitation of conflict resolution, and enhancing the quality of subscriber interactions.
• Marketing and Media Strategy expertise.
• Economist to assist with a sustainable, dynamic revenue sharing model across the ecosphere.
• Academic, organizational, and community leadership to identify and/or construct educational content and locally-focused effective civic actions aligned with the formation of subscriber to subscriber agreements.
• Video production for short-form educational media.
• ESG expertise for the aggregation and normalization of data to inform consumer demand.
• Country/Regional Managers to leverage the platform technology and build autonomously federated capability aligned with a country and/or regional localizations, culture, languages, political, and economic structures.
• Legislative analysts to identify dynamic political, civic, and economic actions and their efficacy.
