The Travelling Assembly

[Please note this latest version was made public on 25 May 2025, after the final meeting (External link) of the 2024/25 pilot Assembly]

Principle:  If democratic citizenship is our basic right, the outbreak of a crisis should never be an excuse for a powerful elite to grab power or silence opposition. If spaces for debate are created upstream, people can use them to mobilise when the need arises. Even in the midst of a crisis, there must always be ways for people to participate, assemble, protest, imagine innovative ways to engage in vital decisions and make themselves heard. Only in these ways can problems be highlighted, bad policies be corrected and good policies adopted.
