Danna: Thanks for having me, Spiffy. At HURIDOCS, we help people collect, process, and communicate important information about human rights, climate change, and more. We develop our own open-source software, enabling activists and change-makers to securely store their data and ensure it is usefully organized for advocacy or court cases. We even use machine learning to help them find important information faster! Our tool is called Uwazi, which means “openness” in Swahili, and we have more than 300 partners around the world.
Afu: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! In the 2024 elections, there are 107 million voters under the age of 40, making up 52% of the total voter pool in Indonesia. 70% of them are anxious about multiple issues, but only 8% self-identify as politically engaged. This is caused by the lack of credible and accessible political information, along with the missing link between issue-based political processes. Bijak Memilih addresses this by providing digestible and relevant information that they need to know to make informed choices.
Gabriel: Thanks for having me, Spiffy. Politize! is a Brazilian civil society organization that produces free and unbiased content and campaigns for civic education on the Internet, trains civic leaders to be capable of solving public problems, and trains teachers to educate young people in the process of becoming engaged citizens at schools. Our ultimate goal is to improve the political culture and participation in our country, countering misinformation and authoritarianism, while strengthening democracy.
