Own Your Government, LLC
Coordination for Human Priorities
Nothing changes—even when everyone agrees
You see the problem
So does everyone else
Nothing happens
What we do now will define the next 30 years
Do we reinforce fragmentation?
Or introduce a new organizing infrastructure?
Voting shows what people choose—once in a while
It doesn’t show what people agree on—right now
It’s not that people don’t care
Social media shows what people feel.
It doesn’t show what people agree on.
MEDIA AMPLIFIES AWARENESS – NOT ACTION
Problems drag on
You sign petitions
You show up
You try
UNORGANIZED, WE ARE THE PROBLEM
ORGANIZED, WE ARE THE SOLUTION
COORDINATED ACTION NETWORKS
GROUNDED BY INFORMED CONSENT
Giving communities a way to
-understand each others needs
-define and measure real agreement
-act on it together
-HOW IT WORKS-
1. People show up locally
Using a community platform
2. They share what’s going on
Problems, ideas, concerns.
3. You can actually see:
What people agree on
What they don’t
4. People vote
Not noise—real signals
5. When there’s enough agreement—things move
Turning moments of crisis into moments of alignment
Turning moments of crisis into moments of alignment
Example:
There’s flooding in your neighborhood.
Normally:
people post videos
agencies guess what’s needed
response is slow
With Coordinated Action Networks
people share what’s happening
priorities are clear
people coordinate immediate action
Local decisions
Real action
Shared consequences
5+ BILLION PEOPLE WITH SMARTPHONES
WE SING ABOUT THE PROBLEM
BUT – UNORGANIZED, WE ARE THE PROBLEM
ORGANIZED, WE ARE THE SOLUTION
COORDINATED ACTION NETWORKS
Show what people actually agree on—right now.
And turn that into action
COMMUNITY-OWNED
An OYG supported community is a self-identifying geographic part of a city, region, state or nation. Residents log into a community's OYG platform with a smart phone or browser. Neighborhood OYG affiliates may provide cost-free smartphones or tablets.
Security
A community's OYG platform exists as encrypted data in redundant servers, with strong privacy protection of personal information, voting data and outcome of polls, using security procedures equal to financial institutions.
VERIFIED CONSENSUS
Every registered member on a community platform may post a poll to the community. When responses to the poll reach a statistically relevant threshhold, consensus is reported to media, and government officials.
COMMUNITY FORUM & Profile

Machine learning notes reveal the quality of interactions and sets tone

OYG DATA
Backend technologies
Privacy and Blockchain
We use Blockchain to protect identities and ensure the integrity of poll results, digitally-signed documents, chat history and video recordings from theft, corruption, ransomware, and loss. Historical data and legal documents are protected with bank-level encryption and a tamper-proof checksum hash.
NLP
We use NLP to parse poll questions and apply semantic similarity to find similar issues being polled in other communities to derive broader consensus on import issues. We use AI on chat posts and comments to detect offensive or vulgar language, and attributes such as tension, anger, ad hominem speech, as well as non-factual assertions.
Decentralized Architecture
Each community runs on its own server node or “instance” with inter-regional data redundancy. This allows our platform to redeploy the instance quickly and automatically in another data center, if the original node goes down due to network latency, regional downtime, data corruption or a network attack.
