Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

[Middletown, NJ] – [August 15, 2024] – The Future is Now Coalition (FiNC) is poised to revolutionize the very foundation of America’s democracy with the unveiling of its visionary Blueprint to Upgrade Democracy. FiNC asserts that this blueprint has the power to address the most critical flaws in today’s political system, reshaping the relationship between citizens and their representatives and ensuring that every voice is heard and valued.

As we enter a pivotal era of democratic evolution, FiNC is focused on two transformative pillars: Digital Democracy (DD) and Digital Politics (DP). Together, these components form a new political infrastructure designed to empower citizens and restore true representation in government.

But FiNC is not just building a movement—it’s creating a meta-movement. This meta-movement serves as the connective tissue for an array of existing movements and causes, recognizing that the core issues preventing most movements from succeeding are deeply tied to the fundamental flaws of our democracy, such as the pervasive influence of money in politics. FiNC’s vision is to unify diverse movements under a shared mission, amplifying their impact and driving systemic change.

Digital Democracy (DD) is the concrete manifestation of this vision. Currently under development and set to be fully functional by the next midterm election, DD will serve as a citizen-owned platform where every American can opt into an equal ownership stake in the technology. This platform will be the digital embodiment of America’s democracy, providing citizens with unparalleled access to information about elected officials, prospective candidates, and key political issues. By anchoring our democratic processes in transparency and accountability, DD will empower voters to make informed decisions, holding representatives to the highest standards of integrity.

In tandem, Digital Politics (DP) is not just a new political infrastructure—it’s a reimagining of the relationship between citizens and their government. DP transcends traditional party politics, focusing instead on data-driven, policy-centered decision-making that reflects the real needs and values of the people. Through DP, FiNC aims to dismantle outdated systems and build a political landscape that is inclusive, transparent, and truly representative.

“Our mission is nothing short of a systemic revolution in democracy,” said Elizabeth Champney, Director of Outreach at FiNC. “We believe that the Blueprint to Upgrade Democracy is not only transformative but also foundational—establishing new communication infrastructure that more effectively integrates citizens with their government. This is not just about participation; it’s about fundamentally evolving how democracy functions. And by serving as a meta-movement, we are empowering and connecting the diverse movements that strive to address societal issues but have been hindered by systemic flaws in our democracy.”

As FiNC advances through its Awareness Stage, the organization is actively seeking partnerships with aligned movements and organizations that share its commitment to true citizen empowerment. By joining forces, these partnerships will amplify the impact of FiNC’s initiatives, driving a national movement that redefines what democracy can and should be.

FiNC invites media outlets, journalists, and community mobilizers to join this meta-movement. By supporting the Blueprint to Upgrade Democracy, you are helping to illuminate the immense responsibility American communities hold in upholding ethical political processes and representatives. This is not just a call to action—it is an invitation to be part of a historical transformation.
