title: Civic Tech

> Which leads us to the present. I view civic tech as a new “big tent” movement for democracy that encapsulates many smaller segments, such as gov tech, online campaigning, digital advocacy, and voting tech. I am also a firm believer that “civic” is the operative word, meaning “us” and “we.” That is, people and communities, along with our hopes, dreams and needs, and the decisions that we make together to realize them. *With software continually devouring so much of our lives, I see civic tech as an opportunity to embed “we” at the center of our technology.* In civic tech, technology is always the means to an end, not the end itself.

*Technologie civique* sonne moins bien et je ne sais pas comment rendre ce terme traduisible. Techno-civisme ?

Combien d’entre vous ont le sentiment de travailler dans ce domaine ? Êtes-vous rémunéré pour le faire ? Qu’est-ce qui vous retient de le faire ? **Peut-on vivre en démocratie de manière passive ?**
