Summary

In this episode, Ali Partovi and Claire Shorall introduce Sway, a platform that empowers citizens to organize and vote based on shared values by following trusted community leaders. Instead of relying on political parties, users can support individuals they trust on specific issues and receive personalized voter guides. The goal is to rebuild democratic participation from the ground up using digital tools, transparency, and decentralized influence. Sway aims to reshape how political power is mobilized, locally and globally, without relying on traditional campaign infrastructure.
