Paid: Seeking presenter for documentary on Citizens Assemblies

There's a webinar tomorrow night hosted by members of the Global Democracy Initiative, of which Global People Power is one. I have invited  World Citizens Assembly, Global Assembly, Progressives International and XR CAs along. I now consider networked Earth, national and local citizens' assemblies to be the more immediately scalable and accessible way to create global policies to tackle global problems. There may be someone attending who you could ask Luke. Hello Luke by the way. xx

Great! Thank you, I'll try to join x

Luke, happy to talk to you about our climate assemblies project in nw Wales. Please see here: http://www.deg.wales/gwyrddni/?lang=en

I don't think I fit your under-represented group, unless Welsh speakers is what you're after.

Noted! Thank you Grant, I'll come back to this.

Hi Luke

Sounds brilliant, exactly what is needed!

I am in the UK CA working group for XR and can ask if there is someone who could present for you or have a look in my wider network for someone who meets your demographic..
"an under represented demographic in politics"

I do know someone in Northern Ireland who would be great as she's a working class young single mother.

Failing that I'd be interested but I am a middle class 43 year old white male based in South Wales!

Cheers,

John

Thank you John! I would be delighted to be connected to her or anyone you would recommend. My phone number and Telegram is +447851054199 http://t.me/lflegg

@John Whiten I'm following up on your message again

Hi Luke - I help coordinate a grassroots democracy project, Trust the People (www.trustthepeople.earth) and this sounds like something our team might be interested in helping out with. I certainly would be! I'm a white cis female <-- definitely unrepresented in politics but not as much as others. If you're interested in a chat let me know at [email protected]. Cheers, Mags

I'll message you, thanks Mags :)

Hola Luke, I am not sure if you have received this, so forgive me if its a repeat:

Hola, I produced, wrote, and did the voice for this 7 minute animation explaining horizontal governance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wywMhg604W8. So, I know a lot about assemblies, having had contact with people in Rojava, Syria which has been using this method of governance/organizing for about 9 years.

Abrazo,

Hi Luke - thanks for this post, sounds exciting and much needed! How much of an expert do they need to be on CAs, and when will it take place? I have a background in community engagement and presenting (mainly live, e.g. science shows, talks etc.) and have been active in XR for the past 2 years, largely samba and outreach. In the last rebellion i delivered and trained people on Train Talks and over the summer took part in the Trust the People training. Super interested in climate assemblies and alternative democratic tools (curious, but not an expert!), and keen to run some as part of our Climate Action Network at work. Interested in how this complements other organising work such as by Citizens UK. Give me a shout if this sounds like a good fit! :)
