I hear from people who are really into "People's Assemblies" that sortition works much better than you'd expect; especially when there's a dedicated stage of the process for hearing expert opinions

How do you like our Transition Assembly picture?

Created by amazing illustrator and screen-printer Imogen Donegan, we love how she’s captured the way the Assembly will bring us and the different threads of experience we hold together in a strong and vibrant pattern.

It’s just seven weeks away - and we’d love to see you there. If you or your group been invited to attend, you have until 17 January to book and claim your place. Then these tickets will be released to allow other people who are waiting for a space to attend.

Speak to us about anything that would support you to attend, including on-site childcare and bursary help with travel and accommodation costs.

Transition Assembly

Feb. 7th – 9th, 2025

Outside the Court: The #PeoplesAssembly ended, and Indigenous leaders brought raw truths about climate impacts on their rights, voices the Court’s rigid structure has excluded.
Outside the Court: The #PeoplesAssembly ended, and Indigenous leaders brought raw truths about climate impacts on their rights, voices the Court’s rigid structure has excluded.
Outside the room, civil society organizations launched the #PeoplesAssembly, amplifying the voices of frontline communities - who cannot be inside the Court - demanding #ClimateAccountability. “How many human rights must be violated before States take meaningful action?"
Outside the Court, climate-vulnerable communities met for the 1st day of #PeoplesAssembly, which amplifies voices complementary to the ICJ climate proceedings. Today, we heard powerful statements from climate witnesses from Suriname, Kiribati, Vanuatu, India, Tuvalu & Sudan.

Desperate about politics as usual? We know the feeling...

Assemblies are one way that ordinary people are re-imagining how politics could be. In these times, the way we listen to one another, think creatively together and decide on our best next steps is crucial to do better.

Politics as usual deadens our ability to respond and care: new politics brings us together and uses processes that take us beyond polarisation into a deeper understanding of one another and our world.

Join us this evening at 7.30pm to hear more about how this could work where you live - and how the Transition Assembly in February could bring our movement together to re-imagine and re-create the future...
