Beyond Elections: Creating Grassroots Democracy in our Communities
Primary tabs
One of the Green Party's Ten Key Values is grassroots democracy because we believe that being a political party is about more than just running candidates for office. Please join us at our January meeting in exploring how communities throughout the world are expanding the definition of democracy beyond election season and the ballot box.
We will spend some time viewing the documentary film, Beyond Elections, which provides a look into Brazil's participatory budgeting processes, Venezuela's communal councils, and other similar initiatives. We will also look at projects within the United States such as the neighborhood councils of Los Angeles.
