Open invite to participatory democracy town halls
MLA Rebecca Vassarotti is calling out to the community in a move toward authentic, community-driven, grassroots action. She would love for you to join her in an open discussion about what the Canberra community needs. The town hall session will focus on
Addressing institutional mistrust: Creating open channels of communication where systemic challenges, government delays, and local issues can be addressed candidly.
Empowering grassroots action: Devolving power back to residents and local organisations by co-creating solutions, that can be delivered either with the support of government or not at all, empowering real local action through community engagement.
Clear accountability and next steps: Establishing concrete action items and follow-up plans so our discussions translate into visible, real-world impact.
If you want to be a part of this movement, the next town hall is Sunday – 27th September from 1pm to 5pm – Common Ground Dickson Hall
Join Johanna Bell and Inga Simpson in conversation with Jennifer Pinkerton for a discussion about the vitality and originality of climate fiction.
