Description
Citizens' assemblies are currently a hot topic in the Netherlands! As a growing coalition of politicians, experts, and campaigners are declaring their support for XRNL's third demand, ow it is crucial to keep the pressure on, both to ensure that the citizens' assembly becomes a reality and that it has a broad mandate and real power. A broad outreach, media, and coalition building campaign is already underway to pressure politicians to adopt a strong and meaningful citizens' assembly to address the climate and ecological crises. We have already had several very successful events, including two debates with national politicians. But as the coalition talks begin, we need to scale our outreach up. For this we need YOU!
