People’s Assembly

Online

"People’s Assemblies are a way for a group of people to discuss issues or make decisions collectively, where all voices are heard and valued equally and no one person or group are able to dominate the process. People’s Assemblies play a vital role in our decision making process, and even more so during the rebellion where we will need to hold impromptu assemblies depending on the situations we encounter. In this assembly, we will be discussing the following question - 'How do we best incorporate alternative & non-hierarchical systems into our daily lives?'"
