Upgrading politics is a golden thread throughout XR’s [Actions Strategy](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/link/1368#) because our failed political system is the root cause of all our climate, nature and social justice issues.

#### So add a positive **Citizens’ Assembly** message at **every action**:

- Banners or placards with simple messages like **Citizens Assemble!**,  **Citizens' Assembly**, or **Decide Together** increase name recognition and awareness of the concept of Citizens' Assemblies.<br><br>

- Our <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p32RublJvYYRnFcUb919EvdzOlYJnGRe/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">demographic bunting (Google doc)</a> makes a great talking point to show how we can improve politics.<br><br>

- Use <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/14IsIT3k8NEp6cdNYh_pakPWTrYseCnFH/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">leaflets (Google doc)</a> and mention citizens’ assemblies as a way to find fair solutions.<br><br>

- Consider [survey boards](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/link/765) for extra engagement.<br><br>

- At any action - or outside a town hall or constituency office - make the point that our politics needs improvement.
