Redemocratize is an open project. The principles are developed in the open, the code is open-source, and contributions are welcome from anyone who takes democratic self-governance seriously.
You do not need to be a scholar, a lawyer, or a technologist. You need to care about building democratic institutions adequate to the world we actually inhabit. If that describes you, there is a place for your work here.
Draft topic pages, propose institutional mechanisms, analyze how principles apply to real governance challenges, or contribute comparative examples from other democratic traditions.
Review drafts for clarity, rigor, and accessibility. Help ensure the project speaks with both analytical precision and genuine conviction.
Improve the site's design, accessibility, and user experience. Contribute to the open-source codebase. Help make democratic design legible and inviting.
Help make these ideas accessible across languages and political traditions. Democratic design is not an exclusively English-language conversation.
Support the infrastructure that keeps this project independent and open. We accept no funding with strings attached — contributor autonomy is non-negotiable.
Connect the project with communities, institutions, and movements working on democratic reform. Help bridge the gap between theory and practice.
All content is licensed CC BY-SA 4.0 — open, shareable, and revisable. The preferred way to contribute is through git and the project's source repository. For those who prefer it, we also accept contributions through Google Docs.
Contributions are reviewed for alignment with the project's principles and for clarity and rigor. We value substance over credentials. A well-argued contribution from anyone carries more weight than an appeal to authority.
This is closer to an open-source software project than a political campaign. Everything is versioned, transparent, and revisable — because a project advocating for adaptive governance must first practice it.
This project is in its early stages. The principles are taking shape, the first topic pages and proposals are being drafted, and the infrastructure for collaboration is still being built. We do not yet have all the contribution mechanisms figured out — and figuring them out is itself part of the work.
If you have ideas about how an open project like this should accept, review, and integrate contributions, we want to hear them. The process of building democratic governance starts with how we organize ourselves.
For now, the best way to get involved is to register your interest below. We will reach out as contribution pathways take shape, and early contributors will help define what those pathways look like.
Tell us a bit about yourself and how you would like to contribute. We will follow up with next steps.
