Making democracy work at campaign speed
Behind Zohran Mamdani's historic mayoral primary win was a decision-making system that coordinated 13,000 members with zero paid staff.
Important decisions
need a place of their own
Loomio gives your group a dedicated space for the discussions and decisions you'll want to come back to, so everyone can participate.
Every voice can take part
Fewer, more useful meetings
Decisions and reasons stay together
Your everyday tools were not built for decisions
Chat, email, and meetings each have a job. Important decisions need enough focus for people to understand the question, contribute thoughtfully, and see where the group landed.
Lost in email
One decision splinters across replies, side threads, and missing recipients. Later, nobody can find the outcome or the reasoning behind it.
Too fast in chat
If you miss the stream, you miss the decision. Important questions scroll away, and whoever happens to be online has the most influence.
Endless in meetings
Attendance determines whose voice is heard. The same debates return because minutes preserve the result, but rarely the reasoning.
"We try not to vote in chat mechanisms because there's no trail. We want to be able to go back and understand decision-making over time."Darren Goldner, NYC DSA
One clear path from question to outcome
Loomio makes collaborative decision-making practical without asking your organization to reinvent how it works.
Discuss with context
Put the question, background, and useful documents in one place. Invite the right people and give them time to think.
Vote with reasoning
People share the reason for their position. Support becomes clear, concerns surface early, and the proposal can improve.
Record the outcome
Close with a clear result and next steps. The discussion, reasons, and outcome remain searchable for the people who need them.

Self-managing workplaces
From traditional recruiter to self-managing organisation
A 60-year-old recruiting company threw out the org chart, gave every employee the same authority as the CEO, and scaled it to 450 people across three countries.
Cohousing & ecovillages
Running a property co-op without ever meeting in person
130 people from 32 countries bought apartments together. Now they have to run a business, a community, and a building — democratically.
Unions & member networks
28,000 teachers debate strike action and win historic pay rise
850 teaching positions unfilled, a profession in crisis — and 28,000 union members who needed to debate strike action and reject government offers together.
International nonprofit governance
How a global nonprofit brought transparency to distributed decisions
150 people across three continents, restoring degraded land—and the decisions couldn't wait for the next meeting.
Technology cooperatives
How a self-managed team makes decisions
As the team grew past 20, the old way of deciding things stopped working.
Associations & member networks
Conservation governance at a global scale
240 participants from 70 countries, speaking dozens of languages, need to reach consensus — and they've never once had to fall back to a vote.
Trusted by organizations around the globe
