XR's 3rd Demand: a Citizens' Assembly

If we are to have any hope of coping with the emergency, we have to move beyond the politics that have so far held us back, and into listening, dialogue and towards unity and action. Extinction Rebellion does not want to seize power, we want power to be in the hands of the people. We need to decide together. That’s why our third demand is for a Citizens’ Assembly on Climate and Ecological Justice.

OurXR's citizens' assembly webpage https://extinctionrebellion.uk/decide-together/citizens-assembly/ explains:

• why our outdated system of electoral politics can't make the changes we need;
• introduces the concept of citizens assemblies; and
• gives some examples of citizens assemblies around the world.
