With all that's been happening in Washington, it would be easy to miss this bit of news on the US's first climate assembly. crosscut.com/environment/202…

join our growing, dynamic organization!
We have an excuse to draw attention once more to our friends Democracy Without Elections, and their board, chosen by random selection, thanks to this news story. equalitybylot.com/2020/12/03…
I volunteered in this small group. Everyone I met, in 10 small groups, had a positive experience. Even when there were difficult moments. We (&the experts) are closer in our views than the media & politicians tell us. I will be looking for a @BetterAngelsUSA group near me. @CNN
Along with conducting pre- and post event surveys, NORC recruited the representative cross-section of registered voters to participate in America in One Room. See what happened when 526 people from varying backgrounds took to Dallas to talk politics: ow.ly/n4uX50wn9hJ @CNN
Will candidates listen to informed views of a cross-section of voters? Make deliberating minipublics part of their administration? cdd.stanford.edu/2019/americ… @PeteButtigieg @ewarren @CoryBooker @KamalaHarris @SortitionNow @NIForums @BetterAngelsUSA @ByThePeopleUS @amyklobuchar
great article!
Good balanced article. We back Citizens' Assembly as proof efficacy of #sortition #deliberation. There are flaws with single issue CAs, as politicians relied upon as middlemen. Ultimately we aim to redefine democracy with citizen at core, CAs first step!

Under-representation underlies most of our ills. And much under-representation is a result of the election system. "Which candidate will push for inclusion of everyday people via methods described here: democracyrd.org/about/ "? @SortitionNow @_RealDemocracy @healthydem
if we were really a society with zero tolerance for any potential harm to innocents, we'd outlaw guns. And cars.

Great article. "Few proposals that go through a notice-and-comment period garner more than a handful of comments. DeVos’ plan has so far racked up 53,453." Is Trump admin going to set a new record for number of Comments? #HandsOffIX #MeToo @EnoughVoter @knowyourIX @TIMESUPNOW
There’s a Quiet #MeToo Movement Unfolding in the Government’s Comments Section motherjones.com/politics/201… 👏👊❤️ in awe & tears; good on & go @mldauber
Hosting party w 200 postcards. @knowyourIX 2-pg summary. @EnoughVoter toolkit w scripts. No system avoids harm to innocents. Cars & guns harm innocents & we accept it. #TitleIX must minimize total # of innocents harmed. Systems already favor accused #MeToo @TIMESUPNOW

100 pre-printed cards were not enough, used blank ones! People took #TitleIX materials home to do more after the event. One woman used to work for the gov & said comments really do help shape the rules. Let's hope #DeVos is open to our input @lwvahbg @knowyourIX @enoughvoter
as a @lwvahbg member, met yesterday w the local high school's feminist club (half of whom are male) to discuss #titleIX proposed changes & gave them 100 postcards from @EnoughVoter to submit comments #HandsOffIX #BelieveSurvivors. #youthvote @NextGenAmerica
Hunger: A Memoir of (my) Body @rgay incredibly moving (anything by Roxane Gay), Superbetter @avantgame it's already helped me, The Other Side of the Bridge by Mary Lawson, so happy to discover another go-to author. I second At the Dark End of the Street.

A new law will require French companies to report how much they pay women compared to men. Companies with gender pay gaps will have three years to fix them or face a fine. buff.ly/2TqtxUw
