INTRODUCING 
CIV.WORKS 
The Social Civic Engagement Platform
Confluence of Events 
Society faces unprecedented challenges while 
 Political landscape is polarized, paralyzed and 
corrupted by dark money 
 Political campaigns generally require a massive 
amount of money for media purchases 
 The potential for democracy is rapidly eroding 
 Political and legal challenges to voters 
 Gerrymandering 
 Citizens United and McCutcheon v. FEC 
 Growing popularity of Electronic Petitions 
 To Corporations and to Government
Confluence of Events 
As more citizens are disenfranchised from the 
political process 
 Popularity of Electronic Petitions 
 Efficacy is questionable 
 Narrow success in changing business behavior 
 Negligible influence in government 
 More protests in the streets 
 Deeper divides in America leading to more 
paralysis or worse
Confluence of Events 
We are strategically divided and conquered. 
 You don’t have to be a democrat to want safe drinking 
water for your families and you don’t have to be a 
republican to want a growing economy. 
 There are societal outcomes where we all agree. 
 Focus on outcomes and build legislative mandates to 
promote the results “We the People” want. 
 Use our societal anger and frustration –across political 
ideology. 
No labels –we will think freely about the America 
we want –and support the outcomes with action. 
Together we will shape a strong and just 
America.
Confluence of Events 
 Social Network Growth 
 Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, Ello (emerging 
platform) 
 Massive use of social platforms to connect with varied 
circles or networks of friends. 
 Society is increasingly frustrated with existing 
platforms 
 Erosion of user privacy for marketing/advertising and 
characterizing people for unknown future use.
The civ.works solution 
 Rapidly create a good social platform designed to 
respect user privacy and portability of user-owned 
profile and interaction data. 
 Subscription-based (advertising-free platform) 
 Privacy protection –shared nothing without consent 
 Solid, comfortable/known user experience 
 Cross-platform interaction (write/publish once, post-many) 
and notification aggregation 
 Secondarily -Encourage community dialogue in 
outcome-based Legislative action 
(Direct/Participatory Democracy: as a natural 
evolution of current popular digital petitions).
Platform functionality 
 Open Source Platform (use existing proven software to 
rapidly deploy for general use) 
 Invite only (helps control infrastructure growth and creates 
demand) 
 Low monthly subscription fees (free to academia) that are 
offset by volume and quality of user interaction (encourages 
the creation and sharing of content and user interactions) 
 Comfortable social network style posts (stories, status, 
photos, articles) 
 Petitions and Polling 
 Wiki/LIME –to develop/refine/review legislation 
 Elements of “Smartocracy” –proxy weighted voting 
 Crowdfunded and Crowdfunding (non-advertising – 
”Consumer Reports” style model.)
Open Source Platform 
 Leverage Drupal, Elgg, Diaspora or 
BuddyPress other existing platforms for core 
services 
 Integrate existing modules or stacks to provide 
the best, seamless experience 
 Integrate Participatory Democracy platform 
(Democracy OS or Loomio) 
 Social media platform becomes a “gateway 
drug” for civic engagement/participation.
Social Media “Gateway” to Civic 
Participation 
 User(s) post article with a strong societal concern 
 Generates significant cross-partisan support 
 Test wider group to ensure cross-partisan outcome mandate 
 Small working group proposes solution 
 Solution is refined into draft legislation 
 Issue, Legislative Response are validated via voting 
 If Mandate –legislation is sent to proper jurisdictional legislative 
body for sponsorship consideration or we provide guidance for a 
State/Local Ballot Initiative –and help coordinate requirements 
(petition/signatures etc). 
 Submitted for closed (no rider) up/down vote –so legislative body 
can account to constituents 
 Bill is tracked and reported on to all civ.works users 
 Fosters direct participation in political process –and drives 
accountability/transparency in the legislative body
Represent.us: Issue-focused 
success 
Great work 
with focus 
on “anti-corruption” 
– 
model for 
citizen-led, 
non-partisan 
“Strengthen 
America” 
effort
Civ.Works User Experience 
(UX) 
 Use social features common to existing platforms to provide greater user confidence.
Drive Group Outcome-based 
Decisions 
 Address popular issues where a paralyzed 
government has failed: 
 (Examples) 
 Anti-corruption legislation 
 Government transparency and accountability 
 Money as speech (Overturn Citizens United)? 
 Voter rights and protection? 
 Use of common natural resources
Integrate Decision Platform into 
stack 
Loomio or LiquidFeedback or Democracy OS
Legislative Action 
 When polling and cross-partisan civ.works 
support indicates “mandate” –citizens work 
together on legislative action. 
 Use of wiki or LIME to draft legislation via 
citizen working committee’s:
Citizen Bill Tracking and 
Reporting 
 Examine status of action 
 Determine which legislators sponsor/co-sponsor 
 Track legislative vote –which legislators 
obstruct Citizen’s mandated bills. 
 Require closed vote (no riders, straight 
up/down vote). 
 Real time tracking results to community.
Legislator Record 
 Each legislator and/or candidate will have a 
social page depicting: 
 Voting record (votes, sponsorship, co-sponsorship) 
 Platform/policy 
 How funded
Candidate/Funding Pages 
Work closely with Sunlight Foundation and API’s to provide 
Elected official records (General, transactional and funding data).
civ.works 
 Proof of concept/Prototype in design now. 
 Alpha civ.works.works launch in Q1, 2015.
