ANTIPARTY LAUNCH PARTY: Alternative Ways of Doing Democracy
Apparently there's elections going on today, but we've got better things to do.
Who remembers Bob Marley's One Love festival, or Bob Geldof's Live Aid? If you don't, that's because we're due another conscious revolution.
Enjoy a selection of:
🪩 Musicians
🪩 Artists
🪩 DJs
To unite us and raise the vibrations in the powerful way that only music can.
Meanwhile, be inspired by a selection of community-driven projects and democratic innovations, showcasing alternative ways of doing democracy beyond simply voting once every 4-6 years!
🙌🏽 What are Citizens’ Assemblies? Are they the same as People’s Assemblies?
🙌🏽 How can Blockchain technology support decision-making?
🙌🏽 What is Participatory Budgeting and why hasn’t my local council adopted it yet?
Find out about all of this and more.
Imagine it like a mini festival - we are pleased to be showcasing the following:
The Wellbeing Protocol - improving community wellbeing through participatory grant-making
London Voice - a democratic AI experiment using blockchain technology
The Humanity Project - supporting People’s Assemblies and looking to redraw the system to incorporate a permanent House of Citizens
The People Speak - engaging people’s voices and communities for over 25 years, through their signature ‘Talkaoke’ around a donut table. Come and try it for yourself!
We look forward to seeing you there 😎
ANTIPARTY is a pro-democracy movement seeking to transcend the two-party system and make way for collective decision-making directly by the people, for the people, through Citizens' Assemblies as well as other deliberative forums. In achieving consensus through the collective intelligence of our diverse voices, we can empower citizens to take matters into their own hands. ANTIPARTY separates politics from democracy - whilst continuing to uphold our core values of connection, community and creativity.
