The American Public Trust advances governance methods that help communities find common ground, bridge divides, and create shared paths forward on even the most contentious issues.
Working at the intersections of deliberative, participatory, and digital democracy, we are a non-partisan non-profit.
Our vision is of a renewed democracy that can address the issues that matter most, mend our social fabric, and build a future that brings out the best in us.
We are an active member of the
Democracy R&D network with US and international experts in democracy innovation.
We would like to acknowledge the Canadian democracy organization MASS LBP as inspiration for the ‘Public Trust’ identity and approach, in addition to their contributions to the initiation of our work.
