About the Citizens’ Assembly Demand

Extinction Rebellion's central demand:

Decide Together : We need change that is decided fairly and transparently. We need a Citizens’ Assembly on Climate and Ecological Justice.

A detailed explanation of XR's Citizens' Assemblies can be found on the XRUK website. It:

• Explains why our outdated system of electoral politics can't make the changes we need.
• Describes the key "four pillars" of collaboration, independance, long-term thinking, and representation.
• Introduces the concept of citizens' assemblies.
• Gives some examples of citizens' assemblies around the world and what went well.
