Building a Politics of Dignity - People's Assemblies

At a time when the deficits of representative "democracy" are clearer than ever, we need to prepare the way for new structures to replace the systemic problems of liberal democracy. Enter Citizens' Assemblies (CAs). In the last 15 years, CAs have been implemented in countries around the world and several cities in the US to solve thorny issues in a more inclusive, representative, and participatory manner than either indirect democracy or direct voter referendum.

This teach-in will explain what CAs are, why they are needed, and how we can work to transform our democracy with them.
