<p>I'm Kathryn Peters, or Katy, etc.</p>
<p>I love democracy. Voting? Of course. Participatory budgeting? Now we're talking. Citizens' commissions? Public service design? Social movements? All of it. Building equitable access to power is beautiful, messy work.</p>
<p>I speak technology. To be honest, I first learned French and HTML around the same time and preferred French—but HTML opened more opportunities. (I did get to use my French on occasion while working, in IT, for the United Nations.)</p>
<p>Democracy and technology anchor my professional life. I <a href="work-with-me.html">work with civic and democracy organizations</a> to grow and navigate change.</p>
<p>Previously, I served as the inaugural executive director of <a href="https://citap.unc.edu">Center for Information, Technology, & Public Life</a> (CITAP), where I supported a brilliant collective of researchers and their work on how we remake inequality in new technologies, what platforms owe democracy, and digital publics. My work connected that research with the policymakers, advocates, journalists, technologists, and public who shape our civic and public lives online.</p>
<p>Before CITAP, I co-founded <a href="https://democracy.works">Democracy Works</a> and led operations as it grew to a team of 50 and served millions of voters. You might be one of them—I designed the initial versions of <a href="https://turbovote.org">TurboVote</a> and <a href="https://howto.vote">How to Vote</a>. In the voting space, I also serve on the boards of the <a href="https://civicdesign.org">Center for Civic Design</a> and <a href="https://vot-er.org/">A Healthier Democracy</a>.</p>
<p>These days, I'm thinking about potential civic futures, most especially the promise and potential of more local politics, more fragmented social media communities, and smaller-scale human connections. I'm writing those thoughts down at <a href="civicfuture.substack.com">Civic Futures</a> as I work out where they might take me.</p>
<p>When I'm not being civic AF, I'm probably trying to befriend your dog. Skiing, bouldering, and hiking adventures all get me outside and away from screens. I love a good short story: recent favorites include <a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780735211032">What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky</a>, <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/303653/the-office-of-historical-corrections-by-danielle-evans/">The Office of Historical Corrections</a>, and <a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781101972083">Exhalation</a>. I cook as often as a tiny spatula-wielding sous chef allows. But really, can I pet your dog?</p>
