Small Planet Institute is a non-profit organization founded in 2001 by Frances Moore Lappé and Anna Lappé that focuses on expanding democratic engagement through writing, speaking, and social media. Its work centers on promoting an understanding of democracy as the broad distribution of power, government transparency, and mutual accountability, with the aim of enabling communities to act on solutions across politics, economics, environment, hunger, and agriculture. Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the institute envisions Living Democracy as a context in which individuals achieve greater personal power, meaning, and connection while communities thrive with dignity. The organization operates within the non-profit sector, aiming to inform and mobilize a wide audience around democratic participation and policy solutions without promoting specific commercial products or services.
