About

Civic space is under attack in many parts of the world, democracy feels fragile, economic inequality is rising and the digital tools that were supposed to connect and empower us are weakening the social fabric. Yet Danny Sriskandarajah, an experienced civil society leader and author of 'Power to the People', believes that this can and will be the century of the citizen.

He presents his manifesto for change, designed to inspire citizen action around the world. He explores how we, as individuals, can make a difference through greater community engagement, and how we can reimagine our democracy and democratise our economies to deliver as a society that works for the many and not the few.

From public ownership of social media spaces to democratising share ownership, and from re-energising cooperatives to creating a people's chamber at the United Nations, he shares ideas for how we can reclaim our power and change the world.
