One Project is a non-profit initiative working globally with communities to design, implement, and scale new forms of governance and economics that are equitable, ecological, and effective.\
21st-century DemocracyThe models of democracy that run the world are based on 17th century ideas. They rely on win-lose dynamics, depress participation, and fail to cultivate the full wisdom of humanity. We can create more effective forms of self-governance using participatory design processes and publicly-owned technology platforms.
Democratic EconomyWe can transition from a values-blind economy rooted in colonialism to a values-driven economy that prioritizes life, happiness, and justice over abstract profit, serving everyone instead of the powerful few.
Technology in the Service of LifeWhen driven by profit, technology accelerates existential risks. When technology is governed by the people, designed to serve society, it can be an enormous enabler of well-being. If we don't democratically govern the technology of the future, it will govern us.
A Culture of CollaborationNew systems are part of a transition from an obsession with competition to a culture of cooperation that recognizes the inseparability of “me” and “we.” Today’s systems arise from mindsets of extraction, racism, and violence. But there is a growing global movement toward mutual aid, equity, and mindfulness that can inspire and seed the next models of societal transformation.
