“Many of us who have woken up to the impacts of climate change see it as part of a system which also causes many of our social problems, from inequality to marginalisation. It is this system that needs to change if we are to tackle all of these problems – including avoiding the worst impacts of climate chaos. Most people would prefer to live in a system which is built around care for people and the planet and where our collective decisions are made fairly. But there isn’t yet a shared view across society of what that system would look like or how we can get there. Grassroots to Global is a new project which plans to support People’s Assemblies in Scotland – starting in our communities and building to the national level – where we can use deliberative democratic processes to begin to build that shared view. If you would like to join us, please contact heartpolitics@protonmail.com or attend our first public meeting on the 3rd of November from 6.30-9pm.”
