Discover the projects of DemocracyFirst — digital initiatives that empower people everywhere to make decisions together and drive change from the ground up.
Building a Fairer World, Together
If people truly want something to happen, they can make it happen.
That belief lies at the heart of DemocracyFirst: giving everyone a real say in the choices that shape their lives.
Today, for most citizens, expressing what they want is still difficult. We vote every few years, we protest, but we lack simple, continuous ways to show our preferences.
DemocracyFirst develops digital platforms that enable everyone, everywhere, to share ideas, gather support, and make decisions together. Our projects combine technology, trust, and participation to make change possible from the ground up.
Our Projects
DemocracyFirst develops digital platforms and movements that help people turn participation into action.
Each project is a building block of a larger vision: a connected world where citizens, organizations, and governments decide together with transparency, trust, and real impact.
Empowering people to decide — every day, everywhere
Our projects combine civic design, data security, and social purpose. They are developed by a small international team of volunteers and experts, open to collaboration with developers, universities, investors, and institutions that share our belief: technology should serve democracy, not the other way around.
OpinionFirst
Let’s decide together!
About: A digital town square for everyone
Status: Ready for launch
Focus: Modern democratic participation
Audience: Citizens, communities, municipalities, organizations
Short description: OpinionFirst is an online platform where people propose, debate, and decide — transparently, securely, and together. It transforms democracy from a periodic event into an ongoing practice.
How it works:
-
- Citizens and members vote directly on topics that matter — locally or globally.
- Opinion leaders publish proposals; others respond, support, and refine them.
- Every vote is verifiable through the “glass ballot box” principle — a visible yet private record of trust.
- Available through web, app, or SMS for universal accessibility.
Why it matters: OpinionFirst bridges the gap between people and decision-makers, helping communities form well-informed, widely supported outcomes — faster, fairer, and more transparent.

One$/eachday
One click. One dollar. One world.
About: Global solidarity made simple
Status: Pilot development phase
Focus: Global solidarity & transparent redistribution
Audience: Citizens, donors, governments, and organizations supporting social impact
Short description: One$/eachday empowers every person in the world to take part in a simple, fair system of solidarity. By making a single choice — to keep or give your daily $1 — you help create a permanent flow of care between people across borders. Once made, your choice repeats automatically each day until you decide to change it.
How it works:
-
- Every participant represents both a giver and a receiver — symbolizing equality and connection.
- A global petition calls on governments to guarantee every citizen $1 per day as a universal right.
- Until that vision becomes reality, the platform simulates and supports that system transparently online.
- The process runs through five layers: Overview, Petition, Choice, Connect, and Dashboard.
- On the Dashboard, citizens can see the flow of solidarity across countries — fully visible, fully human.
Why it matters: Poverty is not just an economic issue; it’s a failure of shared responsibility. One$/eachday turns that responsibility into a daily reality — automatic, transparent, and inclusive. It’s not charity, but equality in action: a world where everyone both gives and receives.

Global Democracy Movement
Let’s unite to decide our future!
About: Making your own choices
Status: In development
Focus: Global civic movement & collective action
Audience: Citizens, changemakers, organizations, media, partners
Short description: GDM is not a party or an institution — it’s a global people’s movement uniting those who believe that freedom, fairness, and solidarity are possible everywhere, when decisions are made together.
How it works:
-
- Connects DFans (“Democracy Fans”) worldwide — people who say: “I have my own voice. I make my own choice.”
- Organizes campaigns, local chapters, and challenges that make participation visible and hopeful.
- Works alongside OpinionFirst (for decision-making) and One$/eachday (for solidarity) to turn ideals into action.
Why it matters: The Global Democracy Movement shows that real change begins with people, not systems. With millions of independent voices, we can build one shared movement for transparency, fairness, and human dignity.

Stupidity
For Democracy. Against Stupidity.
About: Staying awake, alert, and informed
Status: Early concept
Focus: Awareness & media literacy
Audience: General public, educators, NGOs, media partners
Short description: Stupidity (working title) is an awareness and action project that exposes manipulation, misinformation, and herd thinking in modern society. It combines humor, education, and civic courage to help people think more critically — together.
How it works:
-
- Interactive “Are You Awake?” test and badges for critical thinkers.
- Public dashboard showing collective “thinking trends.”
- Campaigns that highlight the cost of collective blind spots — and how to fix them.
Why it matters: Democracy only works if citizens can think freely. Stupidity helps people stay alert, informed, and connected — turning awareness into empowerment.

Deducation
Learning freedom together!
About: Democracy education for everyone
Status: Early development
Focus: Democracy education & critical awareness
Audience: Citizens, educators, youth organizations, NGOs, communities
Short description: Deducation is a learning and awareness initiative that helps people everywhere understand, experience, and protect democracy. It brings together playful training, civic education, and critical reflection — from classroom games to in-depth insights about misinformation, media influence, and responsible citizenship.
How it works:
-
- Offers open, multilingual materials and workshops for schools, communities, and online learners.
- Combines interactive learning with reflection on real-world challenges, including social media influence, conspiracy theories, and AI-generated misinformation.
- Encourages cross-cultural exchange and understanding between regions — from Europe to Africa and beyond.
Why it matters: Education is the foundation of every democracy. Deducation strengthens democratic culture by helping people of all ages think critically, engage constructively, and recognize both the power and the fragility of democratic life.
