Public Democracy LA
Public Democracy LA is a consortium of municipal activists. We formed in the wake of the 2022 city council scandal that provoked a crisis of Los Angeles governance. How can government regain public trust, resolve tough policy issues, and de-escalate tensions between polarized citizens? We advocate for citizens' assemblies, a breakthrough democratic process that is engaging citizens directly in government decision-making in cities around the world.
Public Democracy LA is a project of Public Access Democracy, a California non-profit public benefit corporation that seeks to promote civic engagement through deliberative citizen groups chosen by lot. Every dollar you donate will directly power campagins to make democracy more democratic, one step at a time.
