ManaBalss.lv ir sabiedrības iniciatīvu platforma, kurā ikviens Latvijas pilsonis var ievietot savu iniciatīvu un vākt parakstus tās nogādāšanai Saeimā. Mēs strādājam, lai vērtīgākās iedzīvotāju idejas tiktu sadzirdētas! Esam viens no lielākajiem un veiksmīgākajiem ‘grassroots’ jeb pilsoņu brīvprātīgi radītajiem līdzdalības projektiem Latvijas vēsturē, kuru augstu novērtējuši arī līderi un organizācijas visā pasaulē.
