Walk the Talk - Community Democracy Roll Out

V Vishal Public Seen by 161

As you know many of us have been working to mobilise the XR network to invigorate Community Democracy.

Many of you have been advising from a distance but now we invite you to join our teams, now we have ideas and plan we need to make it manifest!

We have some important inaugral subgroup meetings this week. At this stage we are looking for people who will take on tasks and action points, not just give opinions.


What's going on ?

You can see our draft plan here - Draft plan and approach (draft being the emphasis here)


What's happening this week? How can you get involved?

If you are interested in joining a sub group and joining this exciting, regenerative and world transforming project - Please fill in the "When2Meets" below by Sunday morning 10am and we will send out meeting times. New members are very very welcome! Now is a good time to join in.

Hi Vishal,

I'm interested in getting more women and under represented groups into local democracy , and also looking at what issues face particular areas. My mobile is 07759 193451 should you want to talk

All the vest,

Julie Hutchison

beautiful,

In terms of getting more women involved we are also planning to have specific working groups to help us deepen our embodiment of "Feminisation of Politics" - this will fit within the "Democratic integrity and guardianship group.

I'm in. I work for a council so see democracy from that angle, and am currently trying to improve it. I guess I'm best situated in the collaboration group so hope I'll see you there tomorrow.
