Executive Summary:
We are building a powerful,
privacy-protected social platform
for civic engagement.
Opportunity:
A significant opportunity exists today
that encompasses a vast demographic.
Our social platform will potentially
address millions of social network (ie.-
Facebook) users who do not want their
profile or site interaction data sold to
marketers or others that use big data
analytics to harm society.
Social Media
Users with
Privacy
Concerns
Frustrated
Citizens
Issue-
based
Advocates
With an easy to use, visually-compelling,
privacy-protected social network at the core
-we will be integrating components that will
allow people to evolve beyond the use of
electronic petitions to creating law, policy,
voting, political activism, economic activism
and participatory budgeting.
We will aggregate actions to help avoid
action fatigue/self-disengagement.
Actions will be presented to subscribers on
the basis of issue affinity and locality.
And we do not sell or provide individual
subscriber profile or activity data without a
subscriber’s consent. It is private by default.
The civ.works Solution:
The civ.works community will include
people that are presently frustrated by
constant changes in privacy settings
for existing social platforms, activists
that create or respond to electronic
petitions and all those seeking
economic and political empowerment.
Audience:
We will sustain a small core
civ.works team and fund our
operating, development and
research expenses based upon a
small recurring subscription fee
($3.99/month).
The platform will be free for the
academic community
(.edu domains)
Viability:
Paid monthly
subscribers
civ.works is a project of the 501(c)3 Civic Works, a non-profit
organization.
Start with core early adopters and donors.
Platform is “invite-only” to control initial compute
growth needs and trolls.
Use invitation demand, referrals, earned media
and social media to achieve subscriber mass and
scale.
At launch we will also be providing “cross-posting”
capability. Subscribers can update their status
and easily automatically deliver their updates to
Facebook and/or Twitter (if they choose).
Adoption Strategy:
Founding Team:
Golda Velez, Chief
Architect
You don't have to be a rocket
scientist but it helps. Golda began
software engineering at Jet
Propulsion Laboratory while
completing her academic study at
Caltech in Mathematics. She has
since worked for Factual, Oracle
and others major enterprises and
start-ups directing complex projects,
programs and teams.
Adam Lake,
Network/Outreach
Adam has been working on issues
related to civic cooperation,
empowerment and engagement since
emerging from Virginia Tech. He is a
disruptor of the conventional and his
concepts, ideas and vision continue to
shape the civ.works concept.
George A. Polisner, Founder
George has spent the last several years of
addressing highly-complex conceptual
technological and economic challenges for
government, large enterprise and society.
He remains active and engaged in socio-
economic and environmental justice,
participatory democracy and budgeting,
transparency and accountability in
governance and he has significant
experience in corporate social behavior
(CSR) and addressing externalities.
Advisory Board:
Suzanne Stenson O’Brien
Suzanne is a seasoned collaboration and
communications professional. Major
campaign responsibilities include National
Voice’s NOV2 campaign, the Eat Well

projects on film, the web, and broadcast
media. She currently teaches writing at the
University of Wisconsin - Stout.
Alpesh Patel
Alpesh holds a Masters of Engineering
degree and works in the biotechnology
industry. He has long been an
advocate for peace, justice and human
rights and is currently also on the
Board of National Peace Action
Erica Fuller
Erica was elected as National Program
Director for the College Democrats of
America and is deeply involved in
issues of inequality, gender
inequality, nationwide sexual assault
within minority communities and
mental health programs.
Allan Garten
Allan is a retired federal prosecutor. He went to work
for the Oregon U.S. Attorney's Office in 1995 and
prior to retirement in 2016 spent the last 20 years
focused on fraud and white collar crime.

Lavar holds a Masters of Social Work from Howard
University with a focus in Policy, Research, and

Consensus:
Consensus
We will leverage/integrate existing platforms
like loomio or Democracy OS. These
applications will allow the civ.works community
to share information and debate on important
public policies, and then vote on the issues they
care about –subsequently codifying the results
in Actions.
How Does it Work?
Representatives and local law-makers can
connect directly to voters to get your input on
important matters. This allows our law-makers
to make our government more representational
and allows your voice to be heard. And when
dealing with a legislative body that is
uncooperative –providing alternative citizen-
initiated solutions and actions.
Sample of Democracy OS Online Demo / Taken from democracyos.org
By connecting civ.works with Democracy OS,
users can have a seamless 360 degree view of
their civic engagement. Focus on outcome-
based consensus building to move beyond
political ideological entrenchment of today.
Economic Activism
What is Economic Activism?
Provide ratings on corporations based upon
their “CSR” information. Help educate and
inform consumers and investors about shifting
their investments and/or purchases to
companies (like CREDO) that are balancing
growth with sustainability.
The civ.works database
Identify, acquire, aggregate and normalize
attributed, trusted data about environmental,
governance, fair labor, diversity, executive pay
ratio and supply chain compliance –and render
an easy to understand grade. Educate and
inform the community on the significance of a
collective economic impact. Ie- “Costco vs
Walmart” or “CREDO vs Verizon”.
Participatory Budgeting:
Planned for future
release
What is Participatory Budgeting?
Participatory budgeting invites citizens to have
a say in how your local government or other
organizations allocate spending.
How Does it Work?
Local governments and organizations set aside
a certain amount of funds and allow citizens to
vote on how those funds are used. Participatory
budgeting is being used in over 1500 cities
worldwide, and is being used by New York City
Council and Toronto’s Public Housing Authority.
civ.works: the platform
for civic engagment
civ.works is coming.

civ.works: A powerful, private social platform for civic engagement.

  • 2. Executive Summary: We are building a powerful, privacy-protected social platform for civic engagement.
  • 3. Opportunity: A significant opportunity exists today that encompasses a vast demographic. Our social platform will potentially address millions of social network (ie.- Facebook) users who do not want their profile or site interaction data sold to marketers or others that use big data analytics to harm society. Social Media Users with Privacy Concerns Frustrated Citizens Issue- based Advocates
  • 4. With an easy to use, visually-compelling, privacy-protected social network at the core -we will be integrating components that will allow people to evolve beyond the use of electronic petitions to creating law, policy, voting, political activism, economic activism and participatory budgeting. We will aggregate actions to help avoid action fatigue/self-disengagement. Actions will be presented to subscribers on the basis of issue affinity and locality. And we do not sell or provide individual subscriber profile or activity data without a subscriber’s consent. It is private by default. The civ.works Solution:
  • 5. The civ.works community will include people that are presently frustrated by constant changes in privacy settings for existing social platforms, activists that create or respond to electronic petitions and all those seeking economic and political empowerment. Audience:
  • 6. We will sustain a small core civ.works team and fund our operating, development and research expenses based upon a small recurring subscription fee ($3.99/month). The platform will be free for the academic community (.edu domains) Viability: Paid monthly subscribers civ.works is a project of the 501(c)3 Civic Works, a non-profit organization.
  • 7. Start with core early adopters and donors. Platform is “invite-only” to control initial compute growth needs and trolls. Use invitation demand, referrals, earned media and social media to achieve subscriber mass and scale. At launch we will also be providing “cross-posting” capability. Subscribers can update their status and easily automatically deliver their updates to Facebook and/or Twitter (if they choose). Adoption Strategy:

  • 13. Consensus: Consensus We will leverage/integrate existing platforms like loomio or Democracy OS. These applications will allow the civ.works community to share information and debate on important public policies, and then vote on the issues they care about –subsequently codifying the results in Actions. How Does it Work? Representatives and local law-makers can connect directly to voters to get your input on important matters. This allows our law-makers to make our government more representational and allows your voice to be heard. And when dealing with a legislative body that is uncooperative –providing alternative citizen- initiated solutions and actions. Sample of Democracy OS Online Demo / Taken from democracyos.org By connecting civ.works with Democracy OS, users can have a seamless 360 degree view of their civic engagement. Focus on outcome- based consensus building to move beyond political ideological entrenchment of today.
  • 14. Economic Activism What is Economic Activism? Provide ratings on corporations based upon their “CSR” information. Help educate and inform consumers and investors about shifting their investments and/or purchases to companies (like CREDO) that are balancing growth with sustainability. The civ.works database Identify, acquire, aggregate and normalize attributed, trusted data about environmental, governance, fair labor, diversity, executive pay ratio and supply chain compliance –and render an easy to understand grade. Educate and inform the community on the significance of a collective economic impact. Ie- “Costco vs Walmart” or “CREDO vs Verizon”.
  • 15. Participatory Budgeting: Planned for future release What is Participatory Budgeting? Participatory budgeting invites citizens to have a say in how your local government or other organizations allocate spending. How Does it Work? Local governments and organizations set aside a certain amount of funds and allow citizens to vote on how those funds are used. Participatory budgeting is being used in over 1500 cities worldwide, and is being used by New York City Council and Toronto’s Public Housing Authority.
