Beyond Elections

A collection of stories about participatory democracy and our collective ability to reimagine what democracy looks like between and beyond election cycles.

Will the US Start Taking Citizens’ Assemblies Seriously?

The latest in Vertical Title

Trust in democracy is near an all-time low in countries around the world. We’re inspired by an emerging network of pro-democracy activists who argue that one way to save liberal democracy is to return to democracy’s roots: to encourage public participation in the democratic process.

We’ll write about participatory democracy from all angles, exploring models like participatory budgeting, citizens’ assemblies and legislative theater that give everyday people a chance to decide over the future of their communities.
