Organizations Filed Purposes:
Digital Democracy's mission is to work in solidarity with marginalized communities to use technology to defend their rights. As techonology becomes cheaper and more accessible, we believe it can and should be used to bring more voices to the table. Digital Democracy helps our partners achieve transformative change and works towards a world where all people can participate in decisions that govern their lives.
Digital Democracy works in solidarity with marginalized communities to use technology to defend their rights.
Direct work with partners in the Amazon: Digital Democracy is working with indigenous communities in the Amazon region (including Peru, Ecuador, and Guyana) to support their efforts to gather, manage, and share information about environmental and human rights challenges happening in their communities. We support the capacity building and technical training of local communities and build open source tools to better meet their needs. We focus on territory mapping and environmental monitoring programs to support local efforts to document and halt deforestation. In 2019 we worked with 10 indigenous nationalities in 3 countries and helped our partners launch an award-winning interactive map and cutting-edge mapping and monitoring tools.
Tool Building: Digital Democracy uses and supports the development of open source mapping and monitoring tools. In 2019 we made MAPEO available for free download on our website, www.digital-democracy.org, to facilitate the creation of indigenous territory maps.
Local to Global Engagement: In 2019, through events, speaking engagements, and presentations, Digital Democracy helped audiences understand the global human rights issues present in our work and the opportunities for local communities to use technology to more effectively advocate for their rights.
