demos: everyday democracy...

democracy is facing a crisis, but simply reforming the structures of governance will not lead to democratic renewal. the public needs to take an active part in the renewal process.

everyday democracy means increasing public participation in the formal and informal institutions that shape our daily lives. people should be able to make individual choices in ways that contribute to the common good.

renewing democracy through public participation increases our collective capacity to tackle major problems facing society, such as the pensions shortfall and climate change. many of these problems can be addressed only by changing the way we live our daily lives.

demos is committed to building everyday democracy.
