Online assembly 13th October

Sunday 13th October, 18:30-21:00

As a continuation of the Massembly held on 31st August, we are organising a further online assembly to once again consider the question:

 “How might we take meaningful steps to Upgrade Democracy?” 

Bring your ideas and imagination, discuss these with others and decide together. Let’s get our voices heard. Share this with everyone you know who’s frustrated and fed-up with how things are right now. This is deliberative democracy in action!

Register for the online assembly here
Note: We recommend joining on a laptop. Tech support will be available.

Information is available if you would like to volunteer as a Assembly Facilitator for this assembly.

Be prepared!

If you'd like to read through the Instructions and Information Cards which will guide this assembly, you can view them here. Or just turn up and join in!

Information Hub

Hosted by volunteers from the Community Assemblies Escalation Campaign and the Citizens’ Assemblies Working Group (CAWG).

Visit the on-site information hub before the Massembly to ask questions and request additional support, e.g. request a BSL Interpreter to join your group or ask for large print versions of the discussion packs.

If you have specific requirements, e.g. needing a buddy, please email xr.inclusion@protonmail.com and we will support these where possible.

What happens next?

In the weeks following Upgrade Democracy we hope to run a series of online assemblies, using the same question and information. Allowing more people to contribute and incorporate a broad range of ideas.

After all these assemblies are complete, the ideas will be made available to an even larger number of people, who in turn will be able to use the Pol.is platform to vote and add their ideas.

Collectively create the largest-ever community assembly in the UK!

Finally, we don’t want it to stop there

A summary of the results will be made available and to build on the energy and excitement generated, a set of suggestions will be created for how to escalate and take the most popular ideas forward.

As a result, we can genuinely take meaningful steps to upgrade democracy!
