Multisolving Our Democracy: Elizabeth Sawin

July 10th, 2025

” Although multi solving is hard, it exists everywhere.”

We discuss how multisolving is a way to address the multiple issues that are currently facing our democracy at the same time, ranging from pollution and sustainable energy to civil rights and collective governance.

Elizabeth Sawin is the Director of the Multisolving Institute and the author of Multisolving: Creating Systems Change in a Fractured World.
