- Jesse Chen asks a fundamental question about our society - what is a democracy? While he gives us a reality check on the state of democracy in America, he sets a vision for how democracy could look. Chen's TEDxTalk revisions a "new power" infrastructure for democracy that will challenge leaders of organizations, communities and governments to more authentically represent their constituents.
Jesse Chen is a technology strategist focused on strengthening communities, civic engagement, and leadership support systems. He is the co-founder and CEO of Powerline, an award-winning, next-generation platform that provides leaders and communities with a streamlined set of tools for leading, organizing, influencing, and mobilizing collective action in any kind of community.As a long-standing community activist, Chen has led or engaged in numerous efforts around student rights, hunger relief, workplace engagement, and governmental reform. Jesse currently serves on the Movement Circle steering committee for the Global Citizens Movement, a global community of hundreds of civil society activists from over 70 countries. He also serves as chair of strategic alliances on the national board of directors for Omicron Delta Kappa and was a US Delegate to International Civil Society Week in Johannesburg in 2013 and in 2014.

Take owership for caring of the well being of planet and peoples for the world that is needed for care of planet and peoples. In democracy the people actively involved in creating present and future of care of each and all each step of life, lived as an individual and mindful of the community, and now each choice affects the quality of life up to the "seventh generation". marta benavides, SIGLO XXIII, El Salvador

Extraordinary presentation, congratulations, do you know what is the Jesse Chen twitter, or Fb or instagram? thanks, best regards from Mexico.
I would argue that you have this backwards: engagement in the U.S. democracy has decreased as the oligarchy increased in power over the last several decades. Even if we were all as engaged now as we once were, money has more power than citizens' voices at this point, no matter how loud we are.

Voting in US is placebo, to give you the illusion of control.
