Problem-solving Beyond Divides
An open-source, ai-assisted, civic platform and federated network to help communities discover new ways forward.
From Polarization to Breakthrough |
From Polarization to Breakthrough |
We’re building an operating system for post-partisan politics — one rooted in local leadership, cross-community problem solving, and honest conversations.
The good news: it’s already happening across the country, hidden in plain sight.
Self Governance for 2025
Voice at Scale
Thousands can participate—online, in person, or by phone.
AI-assisted synthesis reveals areas of consensus and shared purpose, while clarifying the areas of tension for deeper engagement.
Uncommon Ground
Tools and methods that surface actionable, common ground that is otherwise lost in the noise.
Federated
Local coalitions and governments act on what they can control while federating to enable action across larger scales.
Principles
Citizen-Agency
Citizens are not passive voters or spectators — they are agents of change with the power and responsibility to shape our shared future.
Collaboration
Differences in background and perspective enrich collective wisdom. We foster environments where many voices meet, and where democracy deepens through dialogue.
Accountability
Communities and networks hold institutions to their word. Transparency, shared learning, and trust are the foundations of legitimate governance.
Subsidiarity
Decisions are made as close to the people as possible — while connecting communities across places to learn from one another and federate impact to larger scales.
Problem-Solving
Deliberation is a tool for real progress. Bloom elevates pragmatic, forward-looking ‘most-win’ solutions that bridge divides rather than reinforcing zero-sum conflict.
Post-Partisanship
We move beyond critique to problem solving— building what’s next through imagination, courage, and collective action.
