Let’s start with a simple fact: Rousseau’s social contract has never actually been implemented!
This raises a fundamental question—do we really want to see the application of Rousseau’s model, which implies active, direct participation by all citizens in writing the laws for collective flourishing? What would it mean today to realize Rousseau’s vision of a social contract based on true, inclusive self-governance?

When you are an activist and located in the EU, your NGO thinks about an petition, use directly the official EU portal instead of private portals without obligation.
Make it accessable for all citizens.

Threshold for these are 1 of 500 Million votes EU wide and the national threshold for at least 7 member states.

Try to make polls in your country, France is currently the petition leader with 200% frequently oversignings.👍

O wisdom of Mastodon,

As part of a project aimed at making direct democracy accessible to the widest possible audience, I’m looking for an online platform that can convene a citizens’ jury selected by lottery from its registered users.

Essential criteria:

* a truly random, verifiable draw;
* ability to configure multiple topics (use cases: NGOs, political movements, local governments, etc.);
* secure, moderatable deliberation spaces;
* export of results in report form.

If you know of a tool (preferably open-source) that meets these requirements, or if you have first-hand experience, please share your references and feedback in the comments. Thank you in advance!

Ô sagesse de Mastodon,

Dans le cadre d'un travail visant à rendre la démocratie directe accessible au plus grand nombre, je recherche une plate-forme en ligne capable d’organiser un jury citoyen tiré au sort parmi les utilisateurs inscrits.

Critères essentiels :
* tirage véritablement aléatoire et vérifiable ;
* possibilité de paramétrer plusieurs sujets (cadre d'usage: ONG, mouvement politique, collectivité…) ;
* espaces de délibération sécurisés et modérables ;
* export des résultats sous forme de rapports.

Si vous connaissez un outil (open-source idéalement) répondant à ces exigences, ou si vous avez un retour d’expérience, partagez vos références et vos retours en commentaire. Merci d’avance !
