Beyond Elections

How You Live

August 2024

Just as integrity, or corruption, starts with how each one of us lives our lives, so does democracy.

Beyond Elections is a collection of original stories, op-eds and conversations – supported by – about participatory democracy and our collective ability to reimagine what democracy looks like between and beyond election cycles.

Proximate

Proximate is a media platform that aims to amplify and connect movements for new models of participatory problem-solving.

Proximate is an independent media platform covering movements for participatory problem-solving. We look at the news through the lens of money: how it’s given away, how it’s invested, and how it’s distributed by government.
We are a fiscally sponsored project of Movement Strategy Center.
