Say YES to The Hull People's Assembly

Hello, and thanks for making it this far! We have a big idea, but we need your help to pull it off. Welcome to Cooperation Hull...

When we hit £10,000 in contributions, 2,000 signatures and 10 local organisations committed to support - we're launching the citywide Hull People's Assembly. The first of its kind in the UK.

A People's Assembly is basically a public meeting, that brings together people from our city – our teachers, shopkeepers, doctors, friends and family members – to come up with our own solutions to the problems facing our community, and work alongside local organisations to carry them out.

It's a tried and tested tool used from Brazil to Barcelona to Mississippi, and right now people all around the world are realising one thing: they work.

Hull is at the cutting edge of this new form of democracy, fit for the 21st century.

BECAUSE SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE

Real democracy means people like us having a say in the decisions that affect our lives.

But today - when regular people are dealing with the effects of the cost of living crisis, lack of housing and healthcare, and the climate crisis - the country is being run by bankers and career politicians.

---> We can no longer afford to wait for Westminster to do right by us.

---> Our communities have skills, knowledge & experience that can be put to use.

---> We need to reclaim decision making power for ourselves.

and WE NEED EVERYONE

We are a group of volunteers determined to make this work. But we need your help.

TOGETHER, WE CAN DO THIS

We don’t have all the answers. What we have is a vision for how things could be different, a plan that we want to work with you on, and the commitment to really go for it.

Our problems are not just local, but regional, national and even global. We believe this idea, once practised here in the wonderful city of Hull, could be picked up and replicated throughout the British Isles.

Democracy belongs to everyone. Take part in The Hull People's Assembly now.

THANK YOU
