Hello Fediverse! 🇪🇺

We are STAR-PASS, the European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) working to ensure that the 12 stars of the Union are visible on our passports.

As we prepare for our May 9th launch, we are opening a Discord server for democratic coordination across all 27 member states. This will run in parallel with our WhatsApp group

Join a community of citizens taking charge of their identity:

Can neighbors plan their own destiny? In Venezuela, it’s a reality: thousands of projects decided and executed through community assemblies. Decentralized planning is the heart of economic democracy. Local planning is the first step. #DirectDemocracy #prout #localeconomy

@humanoftheinternet ooohhh nice ! I agree for sure, though I'm not sure about the need for representative levels? Maybe federations can have recallable delegates? Perhaps in the style of DAANES where the number and demographics of delegates have to reflect the population they delegate from (ex. one man and one woman in the case of DAANES).
