DemocraSEE

Here is an earlier walkthrough (now being updated) of the onboarding process on the DemocraSEE platform. We seek to create a dynamic democratic process that makes local government transparent, rewarding, and empowering. #civicliteracy

We are engineers at DemocraSEE and seek to understand why systems function or do not function well. Without that deep curiosity and passion to tincture, so many innovations we take for granted would not be possible. So why then, is it so challenging to innovate the "State"/bureaucracy? What if great harm comes to the most marginalized when innovation is slow and essentially not present in state/local/County government? https://lnkd.in/gzCACemK #bureaucracy #localgovernment #stategovernment

“We depend much more on local government workers – frontline workers – than we do on policymakers,” Resh said. “I hope that policymakers take away that the level of emotional labor that is incurred by street-level bureaucrats within local governments can aggregate to real policy implications.” ~ William Resh This is why DemocraSEE is cooperatively designing gamified software that streamlines the communication and effectiveness between local government employees and the community they serve. https://lnkd.in/ghr7S6BJ #localgovernment #communityimpact #socialservices

"But does the process actually work? A citizens’ assembly on climate in France resulted in an ambitious climate bill that promised to reduce the country’s carbon emissions by 40% – but fewer than half of the assembly’s proposals made it to parliament for debate. Without a commitment from lawmakers to include an assembly’s recommendations in bills and voter referendums, the practice can be little more than an intensive debate club." -Eva Talmadge This is why we must incentivize lawmakers to engage in citizen assemblies. https://lnkd.in/eSctRAgM
