Community refers to groups of users who work collaboratively around a shared interest or purpose. People participate in communities to learn, find purposeful work, connect with others who share their interests, and gain a sense of belonging. Examples of community platforms include Meetup for finding local groups, Smule for sharing music, Eduki for teachers, Google Crowdsource for AI training data, and Bikeable for improving cycling infrastructure. Building community involves fostering positive relationships, reflecting together, encouraging strengths, developing a shared vision, taking citizen-led action, and limiting excessive executive compensation.

Democracy is a system of government where power is held by elected representatives or directly by the people. It is based on principles of freedom, equality, and power held by the consent of the majority. Several 18th century philosophers helped establish pro-democracy principles like freedom of press, religious liberty, and universal suffrage. Laws and technologies can help strengthen democracy by increasing voter participation, transparency in political funding and spending, and giving citizens a more direct role in the political process through initiatives and civic participation online and offline.
