HOW TO PARTICIPATE without designing stuff

BE A DESIGNER'S RESEARCH PARTNER

Help one of our challengers find the answers they need
Help frame the answers to be clear and easy to understand
Collaborate on how to best present the information for clarity
Work ahead of the designer to answer the questions

MORE WAYS TO MAKE IT INTERESTING

be a swinger

If you have a large group of friends and coworkers fired up to take on the challenge, why not team up and adopt a few cities/towns from a swing state, or areas with super low voter turnout. More coverage means a more robust resource at the end of this first #100daysofdemocracy.

team up

If you want to tackle 100 Days of Democracy, but don't know if you can make 100 happen all on your own, form a team and tackle the questions together. Get a group of your friends or coworkers together to divide and conquer. Or if you're part of an association like AIGA, reach out to your chapter's board of directors and see if they can help you find new friends to collaborate with.

collaborate outside of the challenge

Remember the ultimate goal is an open-source repository of information designed to make government and civic participation easier. That means if you see a need this resource (the art and the people) can fill, make it happen. We'll all do what we can to help you with that vision.
