"When fundamental changes to a government are needed, who should get to make them? Elites and politicians who benefit from keeping things as they are? Or We the People?"

"Sortition does not merely offer a more demographically representative body," writes our team member, Paul.
"It provides a superior epistemic engine."
Read all of his enlightening new piece!

Two years ago, our own @nickcoccoma.bsky.social made the case for Democracy by Assembly.
DxA “would amount to a revolution,” he says. “And like all revolutions, it begins in the mind.”

How do we build a new house for American democracy? The blueprint was laid 2,500 years ago.

🔥TOXIC TRIBALISM🔥
Partisan politics turn neighbors into enemies:
• Family dinners ruined by arguments
• Communities divided by signs
• Issues reduced to slogans
Citizen Assemblies bring Americans together to listen
Imagine politics that heals, not hurts

But this is still OUR house. Through Citizen Assemblies, we can remodel and rebuild it, room by room, brick by brick.
It's time for a People's Constitutional Convention—where citizens, not politicians, redesign our democratic architecture.

The process is simple but powerful:
Lotteries select participants who truly represent the community → Information builds understanding → Deliberation finds common ground
Join us as we build toward a People's Constitutional Convention!

Citizen Assemblies break this cycle through democratic lottery — like jury duty but for ideas.
Teachers. Veterans. Nurses. People like us, deciding for us.
Join our quest for a People's Convention by 2030

The least civil disobedience against the federal government that nearly everyone could participate in would be to not file taxes this year. Consider it step one of the National Strike.
We need to organize a comprehensive list of demands - #PeoplesConvention - that prevent resurgence of tyranny.

We need a comprehensive list of demands that include not just needed first-order societal changes but also preventative measures against the circumstances that have led to this. We need well-defined economic, judicial, and political reforms popular enough compel participation. #PeoplesConvention

So, it's no surprise that Chris Hedges started his RT show "On Contact" in the summer of 2016 and that one of his first shows was on the hurdles faced by 3rd party politicians (don't forget he was one of Nader's speech writer in 2000) #PeoplesConvention
