Why Use Community Assemblies?
It’s time to decide for ourselves, together!
The current political system is failing to take the actions we need. Let's bring deliberative democracy into our communities to show them the power of deciding together!
By organising local Community Assemblies, we can:
- open conversations about XR's 3rd demand for a Citizen's Assembly on Climate and Ecological Justice.
- grow our local networks by continuing to build local alliances around issues we are all concerned about, perhaps even starting a local campaign or project in collaboration with other groups.
- provide people with a forum where they can hear about, deliberate and decide on local issues that affect community lives everyday.
- invite local politicians and candidates to build positive relationships and ask if they support the CE Bill to further climate and ecological protections.
- keep pressure on local authorities to recognise the climate emergency.
- spread the word about deliberative democracy to empower people by showing what outcomes could be achieved.
