People's assemblies are grounded in the lived experiences we bring and those of our neighbors. In January 2021, we launched into the new year with stories and data about Lansing. This included a review of where disparities exist across education, economic opportunity, environments, and health.
Together, we are focused on bringing about real change by translating community needs to actual policy and action. This includes the development of a local BREATHE Act, a people's budget, and engaging elected officials and candidates so that we elect champions of the people.
Lansing People's Assembly is a community-driven process for deeper civic engagement in government decision-making.
We learned the people’s assembly model from the People’s Advocacy Institute, who have successfully implemented it in Jackson, MS. We encourage you to learn more about the process in our sister city Jackson and dream with us about how the process can support transformation in Lansing.
