Citizens’ Assemblies

Citizens’ Assemblies, also known as Civic Assemblies, are a form of deliberative democracy where a representative sample of randomly selected citizens come together to learn about, debate, and influence government actions on public policy issues. These assemblies can be organized at local, state, and national levels, providing a platform for diverse voices to contribute to the decision-making process.
