People Powered is a global hub for participatory democracy. Our mission is to expand people’s power to make government decisions, by supporting organizations and governments that are building participatory democracy around the world.

WHAT WE DO:
1. We Develop and Share Resources
We provide a toolbox of accessible and practical resources that governments and organizations can use to plan, implement, and improve participatory programs. We partner with researchers, organizers, technologists, and designers to develop guides, tools, and content that address key needs of practitioners and advocates. We compile the best resources, to make it easier for organizations and governments to find the information they need.

2. We Provide Support
We connect governments and organizations with the guidance that they need to launch and improve participatory programs. We provide international learning opportunities, training, coaching, and connections for civil servants, advocates, NGOs and government reformers. 

3. We Build Community
We grow the collective power of organizations, government practitioners, researchers and advocates supporting participatory democracy. We serve as a global union for organizations and individuals working on participatory democracy, and as a global partner for international organizations and funders looking to effectively support community participation.
