Democracy Club

 

Hello,

 

If you’re reading this, you’ve survived January. Congratulations!

 

February is sure to bring much sunshine, warmth and so many by-elections.

 

We’ve also had our first proper board meeting, where we’re laying out the plan, and we’re helping host two events this month in the run-up to May. Perhaps we’ll see you there!

 

Happy voting,

Joe

 

📅 It’s SuperFebruary!

February is packed with by-elections! 34 of them! Voters need your help to learn about their candidates! Get to the crowdsourcer…

 

📐 We have a cunning plan.

How can we do more good digital stuff for a better democracy? What will it cost? We used our first board meeting to discuss a plan — and we’d love your thoughts too. Do please take a look at this blog post and let us know what you think.

 

🗳 Join us in London to plan things for the local elections in May...

We’re meeting in London on Monday 5th Feb — come along! You can also read and add to the crowdsourced documentation here.

 

🏛 ...Or in Huddersfield to talk about democracy beyond elections.

Join us at the annual NotWestminster event. On Friday 16th Feb we’ll run a day on the public understanding of council decision-making. On Saturday 17th Feb we’ll enjoy the range of talks, workshops and  be enjoying the sessions and stealing ideas.
