About this event

Government • Non-partisan

For politics to work for people like us, it has to include people like us. Do elections lead to the most representative group of decision-makers and the best outcomes for society? Could Democratic Lotteries and Citizens' Assemblies create a fairer system of representation and make politics work for everybody?

Rich will kick off with a 20-minute talk, leaving lots of time for questions, answers and great debates!

Rich Rippin is a Project Manager at Sortition Foundation where he works to support Citizens' assemblies - bringing together people from all across our communities to tackle challenging problems with the "wisdom of crowds".

Suitable for everyone with an interest in how democracy might work better

"Democracy Beyond Elections" is part of a weekend of art and ideas about democracy, "If You're Not at the Table, You're on the Menu". Click HERE for information about the other events taking place.
