Co-Governance Project
A project of Political Reform
American democracy is facing a crisis of trust, belonging, legitimacy. Across the country, grassroots organizers, public servants, technologists, and community leaders are experimenting with new ways to engage people in public decision-making and give people civic agency and voice. The Co-Governance Project at Âé¶¹¹û¶³´«Ã½ is tracking these innovations by engaging multi-sector leaders across communities including organizers, city officials, residents, philanthropists, nonprofits, and businesses to see what kinds of institutions, organizations, and policies promote genuine civic belonging and agency. We bridge theory and practice, sharing insights and best practices to help build more responsive and participatory democratic systems.
