A citizens’ assembly sandbox
Auckland region, Aotearoa New Zealand, with an online option · open · public · accountable: Martin
Set up a sandbox for citizens’ assemblies. Anyone can take part in one or more, learn the process, and work through issues with people from outside their own bubble. Small enough to run, big enough to prove it works. Start now, rather than wait for politicians to adopt citizens’ assemblies.

The idea and the drive to start it: a sandbox for running small citizens’ assemblies.
- Needs
People to sit in the first assembly; people to run it; a room if it meets in person; funding only for a physical assembly or a paid moderator.
