Building a Better Democracy Through Community-Led Organizations and Activism Cooperative Structures with Rich Rippin

Is there a cure for the widespread disillusionment with politics around the world? By returning the focus of politics to the community it serves, there may be a chance. Press play to learn:

• What the process of sortition includes
• How folks from different sides of the aisle on a topic can find a space to discuss
• The benefits of deliberative democracy in business

Rich Rippin, the Project Manager at the Sortition Foundation, shares his work bringing about change in political organizations around the globe through community activism.

Politics is a strongly gate-kept and divided process, not allowing much space for discussion. However, promoting community discourse and returning the focus to fostering conversation promotes a new focus on accessibility.

Government is not the only place deliberative democracy works, though. By implementing these strategies in corporations and businesses as well, new solutions can be found, and the wisdom of the crowd can prosper.
