So much fun learning with these smart people! @TeachWesternMA @springpointEDU @schoolfactsbos #MassIdeas Thank you to the @BarrFdn for the opportunity. @SpitfireSays
Throwback to last week where I had the opportunity to participate in the @SpitfireSays Communications Executive Training Program—grateful for the new tools, friendships and inspiration to continue to spark change in our communities!

If you want to learn more about the #TrailblazerModel at #MTRS, exciting changes, and the grant work, be sure to check it out! #MassIDEAS
Remember that you can learn more about our nine #MASSideas on our website at https://t.co/r5VfRByMWC. We appreciate all those who have shared them so far, and look forward to continuing these conversations both here and in-person!
At @masslbp, we believe good democratic processes are essential to developing both civic literacy and democratic fitness. Developing these twin qualities should be an explicit public policy goal for government and its agencies. #MASSideas
We’re back with our final #MASSidea today! We’re happy to introduce democratic fitness. Many people believe that more people should understand politics and follow current affairs. If you agree, then you want to give a boost to what is often called civic literacy. #MASSideas

As societies grow, the ratio b/w voters and politicians increases. In 1867, there was one MP for nearly every 30,000 voters. Today that ratio is closer to 1:150,000. No one would argue that quintupling the # of MPs is a good idea, but D2 prompts important questions. #MASSideas
D2 refers to the neglected second side of this democratic equation — the proportion of citizens who have the opportunity to serve as elected representatives. #MASSideas
The public sector provides essential services to millions of people every day but does little to cultivate a relationship with its users that’s capable of evolving. #MASSideas

We’re back with another one of our #MASSideas today! Barn-raising was a popular community activity in 19th century rural North America. Barn-raising is also a metaphor @masslbp uses to describe the capability of citizens to solve problems. #MASSideas

We’re back with another #MASSidea today! In 2013, we launched Wagemark — a project we ran off the sides of our desks here at @masslbp, but has always had a special place in our hearts. #MASSideas

MASS Idea #4: Wagemark is an income standard established by @masslbp that certifies that the ratio between the total earnings of an organization's highest-paid employee and the average of the lowest paid full-time employee is no greater than 8 to 1. #MASSideas
It’s Friday which means there’s another #MASSideas to share. MASS Idea #3 is our best tool for democratizing policy-making: Reference Panels. You can read more about them on our website: https://t.co/X2bakuTprz #MASSideas

Service ballots give voters a way to join a pool of volunteers to assist a public board, agency or commission, and to provide advice to government. Service ballots can help to establish a strong participatory culture. @masslbp #MASSideas
Day 2 of #MASSideas brings you an idea that we’re working on in the democracy shop: service ballots.

Still want to learn more about the #civiclottery process?
Watch this video from the 2018 Frontiers of Democracy Conference to hear from @chris_r_ellis, the person behind our Civic Lottery process. https://t.co/uAdOLYtHoS #massideas
Civic lotteries are a tool used by governments and @masslbp to convene representative groups of citizen volunteers to tackle public policy challenges. They're based on sortition, an ancient practice used to randomly select citizens to serve on juries. #MASSideas
Watch for new #massideas every other day this month, or, sure, just go on a #democracy binge…
