    Our mission is Productive National Democratic Discourse Online

    Social media has fundamentally changed American political discourse. The communications algorithms used by these for profit businesses are great for making money, but are a disaster for democratic discourse. Just look at our gowning polarization, division and gridlock. It's like putting 1000's of people in a room with a bullhorn that monetizes profit. 

    We are a group of volunteers building the open source tools to make online democratic discourse productive at large scale. Our innovation is to study the what works with productive process of in-person dialog and deliberation bring it online and automate it. 

    And we can't expect to fix the whole thing all at once, but we can break it down into small projects, make them work, collect feedback, and iterate. 

    In 2020 we launched Undebates a tool to automate the debate process so it can be scaled to elections across the country, and make it quick and easy for voters to decide who to vote for. We want to do this again for 2024, and we are working on other tools and processes, like Unpoll to democratically crowdsource what questions to ask the candidates in a debate, in a way that scales across the country. And we are working on Civil Pursuit to enable the People to productively work together discussing questions like "What's the most important problem to fix next" and converge on answers with overwhelming support. 

    We are building, and hosting open source tools to facilitate productive democratic discourse online. This is not about one party, or the other, this is about enabling the People to productively talk at large scale about our most important problems and get to the conclusions the People support.

    But we can't do it alone. We need you to help make Make Democratic Discourse Productive.
