Minnesota E-Democracy
A US registered nonprofit
E-Democracy.org builds local community by strengthening participation and democracy online.
Your crucial donations support our volunteer-based Issues Forum network. They help us:
* Reach out to new and diverse voices in your area and across our 15+ communities. This includes special efforts that engage low income, high immigrant, diverse neighborhoods.
* Support our unique and strong civility-based discussion model that encourages community agenda-setting, government and media accountability, and the capacity of neighbors to solve problems and work together for the benefit of their community.
* Improve the 24 x 7 professional support and training we provide to forum participants and our dedicated volunteers.
* Share our lessons openly and widely and help new communities get started with the effective Issue Forum model.
* Host forums in an independent, neutral manner using ever improving open source technology not reliant on other's advertising based technologies or less desirable privacy or copyright practices.
Your donation leverages the 90% of the costs covered by volunteers and donated resources. We currently serve 15 communities with over 25 Issues Forums across three countries (US, UK, and New Zealand). With a majority of those communities in Minnesota, and a growing network of neighborhood forums in Minneapolis and St. Paul, we seek to serve all interested communities.

E-democracy is an excellent tool for helping to create on-line civic engagement. Both the range and depth of the topics on the Powderhorn e-democracy forum has been impressive. Check it out at www.e-democracy.org/poho.
