Description

Democracy Link is a free non-partisan communication app that will help facilitate this connection. The app will make the process of phoning or emailing one's representative as easy as posting a comment online, or phoning a friend on speed dial.

There is a tremendous need to improve the lines of communication in our Canadian democracy. Many citizens, and especially youth, are unwilling to engage in the political process due to displeasure from prior poor experiences, dis-empowerment, or general apathy. This needs to change, and new tools need to be released.

Elections Canada research shows that "Participation in at least one civic activity (which includes contacting an elected representative) increased the percentage of highly informed and interested individuals".

Stronger communication options with our elected representatives, and more political engagement from our citizens will make a difference. Those who engage regularly will build a better democracy.

We want to dismiss the cynics and empower citizens!
