The UK Assemblies is a well-functioning happy team of people who are passionate about promoting assemblies to show how things can be done differently in politics, by actively deliberating issues of local concern.
Within Extinction Rebellion’s Self-organising System, the UK Assemblies team sits in Operations which sits in the UK Rebel Hive
The UK Assemblies purpose is that:
- XRUK has the knowledge and support it requires to promote the Third Demand.
- XRUK, Local Groups, Regions and Nations have a broad understanding of the power of deliberative democracy, and have the support they need to run community assemblies as required.
The key role of the Meeting Facilitator is to ensure the smooth running of the weekly team meetings so that:
1) They stay on track with the agenda
2) Decision-making processes are appropriately structured.
