Reimagining Democracy: Tools, Strategies, and Inspiration for 2025
As elections wrap up, you’ve likely felt both pride in what you’ve accomplished and the weight of what lies ahead. With over 100,000 elections expected globally in 2025, the stakes, and opportunities, are high.
In this edition of Build The Future, we're diving into strategies, sharing stories, and inviting you to a workshop to help you inspire participation, reimagine representation, and build movements that last.
📈 Uncontested elections are quietly reshaping democracy
Did you know 60%-70% of local and state races go uncontested? When candidates don’t arise for the challenge, democracy falters, leaving communities without a choice. With thousands of positions up for election in 2025, the time for change is now.
Jay Godfrey , VP of Customer Success at NationBuilder, reveals strategies to inspire more participation and equip citizens with the tools to step into leadership. Let’s address this challenge head-on and create a more representative future.
🌏 There's hope: The Community Independent Movement
Across Australia, communities are proving that representation can be reimagined. Voters have been gathering to practice unbiased listening to their local voices and transforming these insights into powerful, representative campaigns. This shift is not being led by politicians; But instead, by the citizens who are taking control of the structure of political systems in a way that’s fundamentally changing the election process.
Discover how this movement leverages tools like NationBuilder to drive change—and get inspired to bring these strategies to your own community.
