Opening claims from the host

1

Healthy democracies require spaces, both online and offline, where people with opposing or differing views can speak with each other and deliberate without fear of intimidation or manipulation.

2

A properly functioning democracy requires trusted processes for resolving disputes, even when people disagree on outcomes.

3

Democracy becomes unstable when large groups of citizens cannot agree on basic facts.

  3. 3 Vote
    Read this Tour's claims. Vote: Agree, Disagree, or Needs Work. Claims that reach 85% agreement become a Tour consensus and everybody wins a reward.
