If we helped you, can you help us?

Has our work at People Powered given you hope for democracy? Have we connected you with useful resources, support, or inspiration? If so, yay!!! Also, we have a request: If we helped you, can you help us?

While it’s been a tough year for electoral democracy, interest in participatory democracy is booming. We’ve supported community-led programs around the world that mitigated the climate crisis, regulated AI use, and made democracy more inclusive. Next year we’re supporting over 100 governments around the world to engage people in deciding public spending, laws, and policies. But since most democracy funding has gone to elections, we’re short of our budget goals.

Can you help out? There are two options:

If you work on participatory democracy and want to be part of the People Powered community, can you join as a member?

If you can support this work financially, can you make a donation?

You can help build democracy from below. We’re a member-driven organization, and the majority of our members, board, and staff are from the Global South. Your contributions support organizations and leaders that are building participatory democracy around the world. Our members decide how to spend the donations, to address their greatest needs and priorities.

We’re here to renew democracy, with you. The next year will be critical for this work. Will you show your support, by joining as a member or making an end-of-year donation?

Bonus: If you make a donation before the end of the year, it will be matched 4-to-1 by a generous donor! So if you give $100, it becomes $500!

Thank you!!
Josh, Greta & the People Powered team
