This was prepared for a session run at MozFest 2021. Rather than add more strategies or success stories for specific strategies, participants discussed situations where:
- the civic tech scene fixed a problem they and their social bubble experienced and exacerbated societal inequality (a design thinking approach, and possibly government led prioritization of citizen problems - using a methodology like participatory budgeting - were suggested as solutions)
- government couldn't be trusted or was irrelevant (strong NGOs trusted by civil society could build legitimacy instead, including having the ability to influence government)
- government was so hopelessly behind on the issue (especially regulatory) that civil society HAD to act (as the only actors able to, even if government should have had the responsibility)
- local politics may be easier to influence than national, but by winning over ambitious local politicians, you can get your issue brought to a national stage eventually
- the electorate didn't understand the issue, so working with politicians or government to educate the electorate might be more effective than trying to organize a public campaign
These suggestions are organized into 2 categories:
Feel free to add anything that's not included, or add examples in each category (especially with links to more info!)
For people joining the MozFest session tonight, please get your stories ready: what did you try? How did it work out?
Example:
Civic tech efforts to make consultations more accessible must take into account the access needs of everyone in society, lest a limited fix risk exacerbating social inequity
Example:
This may not work if you have a strong corporate/industry groups disagreeing with your initiative, and they have the ability to lobby against you
