The Demosphere Manifesto is an idea, a proposal for how to create an international digital democracy network called the "demosphere." The demosphere would be a digital ecosystem of blogs, websites, and digital citizens who want to empower local democracy movements around the world. The demosphere would connect digital citizens to local movements through tech-savvy "bridge activists" in different countries. Bridge activists would link the knowledge and political experience available on the internet to local activists working on the ground. Using the internet, bridge activists in different countries could connect and learn from one another. These peer-to-peer networks would facilitate a cross-pollination of democracy-building strategies and techniques from country to country. Greater knowledge leads to more productive action which speeds the pace of democrat-
ization around the world. You can read it or edit it in its wiki version. If you agree with it, you can also sign it.
