Elections Action Pack | Intro
The local elections are close and this is the time to pick up public interest and carry it right through to the General Election.
It’s time to harness the despair and feelings of betrayal, to re-establish democracy and give people the power and influence.
This pack gives you everything you need in one place to take action to build connections with local people and groups on local issues.
Educate, inform and engage them in Community Assemblies and deliberative democracy in the build-up for the General Election.
Imagine we’re like a Wood Wide Web
The Mycleia Network is a shared economy, where ecosystems flourish without greed. The mycelium underfoot ensures their close-by neighbours have the resources (nutrients, water, etc.) they need to flourish. But they also have formed ways to distribute nutrients across their entire network.
This video [1.5 mins] shows how Community Assemblies connect us.

Elections will take place for councils and mayors in England, for police and crime commissioners in England and Wales and London Assembly on the 2nd May.
There are no local elections in Scotland or Northern Ireland for 2024.
The Communities Assemblies Escalation Plan is part of the 2024 XRUK Action’s Strategy to upgrade democracy.
As soon as the date for the General Election is announced, this pack will be updated.
