Derived from the Ancient Greek ψῆφος (psêphos), meaning “pebble”, Psephos refers to the method of democratic voting in Ancient Greece, where citizens dropped black and white stones into urns.

Psephos Inc is a 501c3 California non-profit organization founded in 2008 to promote and defend democracy..

Election Defense

From 2013 to 2021, Psephos operated the National Election Defense Coalition (NEDC), organizing a bipartisan coalition to promote reforms to the voting technology and elections processes in the United States.

NEDC advocated for greater transparency in our voting processes, educating the public and elections officials on the dangers of unverifiable paperless electronic voting, and the need for stringent public audits with voter-marked paper ballots.

Organizing a bipartisan coalition of government and civic stakeholders, NEDC spearheaded an effective grass tops movement that succeeded in garnering approximately $2 billion from Congress and the States to overhaul election security.

Conservation

In 2021, Psephos Inc expanded our mission to include protecting ecosystems and water resources, addressing the rising toll of climate change on vulnerable communities. We are particularly concerned with climate-driven migration at the US-Mexico border.

Psephos is partnering with the Center for Ecological and Economic Sustainability (CEESMA), located in the central highlands of Mexico in the world historic heritage city of San Miguel de Allende. The Center works to promote replicable and scaleable water and food security projects in the state of Guanajuato, which has the second highest rate of migration to the US border.

Through their Tikkun Eco Center, CEESMA is spearheading model, scaleable ecological restoration, reforestation and water conservation projects in campesino communities.
