Movement Assemblies

Using the Community Assembly format to 'walk the talk' within XRUK to involve all rebels in participatory democracy.

Coming Soon!

Movement Assemblies are coming soon!

Based on the Community Assembly format the UK Assemblies want to support our movement to continue walking the talk and flexing our democracy muscles.

Martin Luther King Jr said; “I have a dream...” He didn't say; “I have a 5 point plan.”

So UK Assemblies want to share our dream with you!

Assemblies are a beautiful way to bring our collective wisdom to resolve our toughest issues.

Now, more than ever, in XR, we need to come together to work on issues within our movement and on our future direction.

We know that when people come together in trust and love we make fairer, more inclusive and transparent decisions.

Vote for your choice of assembly topic and question

To get the best from this process we're enhancing assemblies with Polis. This is an online democratic voting platform, used all over the world by governments, academics, independent media and citizens. It is described as, "A real-time system for gathering, analysing and understanding what large groups of people think in their own words."

The elegance of a tool like Polis is, it quickly gathers our thoughts and gives everyone an opportunity to vote on these ideas.

As with any new tool, we must make sure Polis does the job, has accessible and relevant information on how to use it and protects everyone's privacy with care and respect. We're working towards having XRUK Polis ready to use in coming weeks.

We’re nearly there! When ready, we'll open Polis to begin gathering your suggestions for movement assemblies.

Timeline

After the tech is sorted and the dates are planned:

Polis will bring the popular ideas to the top. The most popular will be our first 'Movement Assembly' chosen by you!

UK Assemblies will support, coordinate and publicise this assembly.

Looking forward to dreaming and deliberating with you soon.
