Why Run Community Assemblies?

A community assembly is local people hearing, deliberating & deciding about local issues that affect community lives everyday.

The current political system is failing to take the actions we need.

It’s time to decide for ourselves, together!

It'Let's now time to bring deliberative democracy into our communities!communities to show them the power of deciding together!

By organising local Community Assemblies, we can…

Grow our local networks by continuing to build local alliances and do outreach;

Keep up the pressure on local politicians, local and unitary authorities;

Spread the word about deliberative democracy and empower people in the process;

Start a local campaign or project in collaboration with other groups sharing a common concern.
