The Project You’d Be Coordinating

The overall aim of this work is to create radically democratic decision making systems at scale, which can support us in facing the various crises already happening and on the horizon.

In the short-term - over the next year - we are planning on running prototype processes that demonstrate the potential for collaborative, participatory, integrative citizen decision making, on divisive issues. As well as continuing to prepare the ground for scaling up in the future.

The premise of this work is that we can abolish human deprivation, provide decent food, housing, healthcare for all, restore landscapes, take meaningful action to mitigate and adapt to the climate crisis etc., if we had meaningful democracy, where we collectively make and enact the decisions that determine our future.

• Contribute to the overall development of the project.

There is potential to:

• Work on fundraising for the project.
