This process is open to all individuals and organizational representatives who feel that self-governing people should take charge of their conditions. You can see what others are suggesting and add to the ideas yourself to the forum.
We’re not suggesting that at this moment we rush ahead together to develop a specific plan for a new constitution given the current political realities. Nevertheless, it is time to transform this period of uncertainty into an era of possibility for authentic democracy and re-envision our most fundamental institution from the ground up, to achieve real liberty and justice for all… for the very first time.

Obviously we are about the process of improving democracy, replacing elections with democratic lotteries and specifying deliberation as the means for making decisions. Such a reform can, however, probably only come through a constitutional amendment or constitutional convention. We are also proponents of a mechanism that could make a people’s convention actually reflect the will of the people instead of the will of the oligarchs- citizens’ assemblies.
Let’s talk. Owen Shaffer, Convener.
