This type of deliberation gives me hope. We must start viewing people as a resource and not a risk.

Organizations like @newamerica, @healthydem, @_UnifyAmerica_, @lecese, @masslbp, @civicgenius, @FIDEurope, @ifok_de, YOUnify and Local Policy Lab are pioneers in this space and fierce advocates for strengthening and rethinking democracy for today and the future.

Countries like France, Germany, Ireland and Belgium have used this type of inclusive deliberation for issues ranging from abortion to climate and cities in North America have focused on topics like access to childcare, placemaking and rethinking how to use public land/facilities.
