This is really good. I mean REALLY good. Warm, kind, powerful, inspiring. Keep going like this and Trump is toast.
FULL SPEECH: Kamala Harris electrifies the crowd in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as she delivers her first official campaign speech for the presidency. Worth watching in its entirety and sharing far and wide.

We all learnt more about citizens’ assemblies & juries, their purpose and potential, as well as the learning that Liz has gathered from her experiences facilitating them. Thank you for such a thought-provoking session, Liz!

Oh my..🤷‍♀️
Chris Bryant, "Ministerial Code says ministers must provide accurate and truthful information to parliament correcting errors as soon as possible. Would you investigate if a minister didn't do that?" Sir Laurie Magnus, "In theory, yes." CB, "Why only in theory? LM, "Well, because, I mean, it's, I mean, that that is, I mean, you're you're correct.. I'm not aware of anything at present." Chris Bryant, "You're saying you've not had anybody write to you to complain that a minister has given inaccurate or untruthful statements?"

It was such an honour to share some reflections about @_GlobalAssembly at the launch of the evaluation report. 2 key concepts I explored in relation to #GlobalAssembly: #power #trauma. The recording will follow soon. In the meantime, check out the report researchsystem.canberra.edu.…
Replying to @DelDemUCan
Don't forget that the @_GlobalAssembly also has community assemblies and the cultural wave ✊ @clmellier begins by establishing the breadth of the Global Assembly. It's not just about sortition-based Assembly!

A provocative 🧵 How would #COP27 be different if the decision makers were a snapshot of the global population chosen by #Sortition? 50% women, 10% no formal education, 70% living on $10 or less a day, 17% from India, 13% white? This is what we did with the 2021 #GlobalAssembly

A #GlobalAssembly 🧵 ahead of #COP27 A year ago, we ran the worlds first global citizens assembly. 100 sortition chosen people, making a snapshot of the human population, met for 68 hours over 11 weeks. Perhaps it holds a key to breaking the dead lock on crises affecting us all?

And this 👇🏼
To my friends in the media: This is a time of high drama, I agree. But while you gossip endlesly about who's in and who's out, you have almost entirely ignored the Public Order Bill that was passed in the Commons this week: the most draconian legislation of the modern era.
This 👇🏼
It's not just a general election we need. It's a complete democratic makeover. It should begin with getting the money out of politics, and full financial transparency for everyone in public life.
