Happy #Saturday you lovely people! 😄 If some recent events have made you gloomy about #democracy there are *plenty* of reasons to be cheerful - and we’re involved in a few of them ourselves. Thread 👇: 1/11
2: The first of 3 citizens’ assemblies for the Innovation in Democracy Programme starts this weekend - find out more about IiDP here involve.org.uk/our-work/our-p… @InvolveUK @theRSAorg @mySociety
3: This weekend @greatercambs is asking its citizens’ assembly how it can reduce congestion, improve air quality and provide better transport links. @involveUK @theRSAorg @mySociety greatercambridge.org.uk/news/citizens-…
4: Later this year, a further two assemblies will be run as part of the programme - with @DudleyMBC and @TestValleyBC being supported by us. Find out more here: demsoc.org/2019/06/17/inn… @InvolveUK @theRSAorg @mySociety

9:.@PublicSquareUK is working with a small number of brilliant councils right now - including @calderdale @glasgowcc and @fromecouncil. 👌
10: Each is carrying out a different project that explores an aspect of local democracy. Read more in this piece on @LGiU: lgiu.org.uk/2019/08/07/vie…
11: And this is just a start. There’s a whole host of amazing people out there doing amazing things for #democracy! Make sure you follow the folk we’ve mentioned - and us, obviously - so you hear (at least some) good news. Thanks for sticking with us!
