Many previous developments in civic tech and pro-democracy tech have been made possible by the actions of governments, parliaments and other authorities, through legislation, access to information (such as data, transcripts or code) or even funding. But what enabling infrastructure, policies and approaches should we be demanding of governments now? Join this short workshop to discuss.

What are the 2025 equivalents of – or improvements to – Freedom of Information legislation or open data to support the next wave of pro-democracy tech? What should the relationship be between the pro-democracy technology movement and governments? And how should we outside government frame and talk about pro-democracy technology and its uses to encourage government to provide what we need?
