Lessons from E-Democracy

Lesson Sharing, Education, and Training

E-Democracy's mission includes gathering and sharing our lessons about online civic engagement, inclusive neighbor connecting, and "e-democracy" generally.

Since 1994, we've been uniquely both a hands-on grassroots organization as well as a global convenor and knowledge dissemination project.
