2024 Policies

Help shape the policies that guide how we work together. Through a participatory policy-making process, we’re inviting our members - participatory democracy organizations and advocates around the world– to decide on new organizational policies to advance our mission, values, and plans. 

First, everyone is invited to review drafts of developed policies on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, New Governance Structure and Membership policies. We then invite you to share your ideas for new policies on issues such as organizational governance, membership, research, governance, finance, and fundraising. Please be as specific as possible. Then, our members, board, and staff will discuss policy ideas, further develop them, and comment on previously developed policies.   

Finally, members will vote to decide which policies we will develop and implement. A Governance Committee consisting of member organizations and board members will be overseeing the process.

There will be video calls during the proposals stage to facilitate conversations and development of policy proposals. Members will be able to contribute to the conversations asynchronously through the governance platform. 

Proposals will be considered eligible if they meet the following criteria:

1. Consistent with People Powered’s mission and values.
2. Contributes to the goals of People Powered’s strategic plan.
3. Relevant and applicable in more than one country.
4. Something that we can realistically implement in 2024.
