TICKET LINK ON THE PROGRAMME PAGE

A MOVEMENT OF COMMUNITY BUILDERS OPEN TO EVERYONE - SHARING DELIBERATIVE DEMOCRATIC TOOLS - WHICH ARE CAPABLE OF DEALING WITH GLOBAL CRISES SUCH AS HEALTH AND CLIMATE ON A LOCAL LEVEL, IN ORDER TO BUILD A BETTER WORLD

Trusting the people is about believing in the power of all of us.

Our art is to craft spaces where people can become strong together. Spaces where the voiceless can speak, where the disconnected can connect and where the fearful can become fearless. Spaces where people and communities collaborate to shape the world they want and need. Impossible, they’ll say...but they'll see.

Trust The People is a movement that began in Extinction Rebellion, but which now extends far beyond and is committed to helping build a genuine democracy from the bottom up.

”A teacher came up to me afterwards, tearing up, she explained that two girls had severe mental health issues. I panicked. One was suicidal and another had been mute for 2 years. But both had stood up at the end of the assembly to feed back from their groups. It was the first time one had spoken for 2 years and the whole assembly applauded.”- Laura Baldwin, XR Dorset

WHAT PROMPTED THE CREATION OF THIS PROGRAM?

Many people have come together to co-create this programme, and we have done so because we believe that we all deserve to be part of a society that prioritises the needs and well-being of every last one of us. We know that currently in our society there is widespread inequality and that people are being left behind: despite the UK being one of the world’s largest economies, over one fifth of the population live in poverty.1 And this is in the country that has seen the number of billionaires almost double in the past ten years. 2 Wealth inequality is not our only problem: the UK is also blighted by systemic racism and discrimination. In all levels of society, the colour of your skin impacts your opportunities. Then, there is the terrifying reality that we are facing a climate and ecological emergency. It is clear that the system we have built in the UK is not fit for purpose. 3
