How to UNRIG our Democracy: unrigbook.com [Video]

https://unrigbook.com/Daniel Newman, president and co-founder of MapLight, joins to discuss how their technology improves government transparency and direct democracy. MapLight builds software for state and local governments to provide easy public access to campaign finance data, e-signatures for petitions, and other services. Their goal is to counter the undue influence of money in politics by empowering citizens and journalists to hold officials accountable. Newman argues digital petitions could enable more grassroots, people-powered ballot initiatives. However, institutional resistance and polarization often block reforms, even those that would help voters across the political spectrum. Newman wrote the book Un-Rigged to explain major democracy reform issues in an accessible, solutions-oriented way.——-Listen to our podcast: Wholewhale.com/PodcastOn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WholeWhaleTweet us: @WholeWhaleOur website: WholeWhale.com/

These involve transparency, understanding the value of time, the individuality of team members, plus a dose of creativity. Retaining a dynamic staff requires dynamic thinking. With these ideas from Katie of StaffingBoutique.org, you’ll likely spark even more new and fresh ways to keep everyone at the winning level!You can also listen to the show on your favorite podcast channel.
