The 2016 election cycle has revealed a deficit of democracy in our country and a failure of our major institutions to respond to the needs of the American public. As a solution to this dilemma, a grassroots coalition of organizers is sponsoring an inclusive gathering named The People’s Convention, to be held in Philadelphia on July 23, 2016. This event will bring together regular people ready to build a more sustainable, cooperative and democratic country together. With your help, we hope to take the first steps towards reclaiming our country for the people it is supposed to represent.
Since our government should speak for all of us regardless of party affiliation, the event is based upon a platform of issues, not a particular party or personality. The corporate media, driven by profit and politicians’ hunger for power has alienated us from the political process for long enough; now is the time for us all to come together as Americans.
The People’s Convention is a pro-democracy event intended to set the stage for a new era of people-powered politics. Our plan is the ratification of a collectively written People’s Platform. This platform will consist of the issues which are most pressing to our country’s civic health.
We also hope to create a space for grassroots organizers and organizations to network and build relationships. This networking should establish the foundation of an ongoing movement intended to transform American politics for the better.
The event is open to the public. If we meet our fundraising goals, admission will be free.
We need you to be a part of this historic effort. Here’s how you can help.
