Back in grad school, I was inspired by the vision that obsessed Thomas Jefferson at the end of his life: that of subdividing the nation into “little republics,” direct democracies that could undergird and breathe life into representative institutions. In service of a like vision, my work-partner Kenoli Oleari and I are building community assemblies worldwide. These assemblies bring together the full diversity of voices in a community, in large numbers; they use robust, participative processes to give rise to high-quality dialogue, shared community vision, and commitments to collaborative action. Remarkably, such community assemblies can transform government and culture.
