"If we seek to build a society that truly believes that every cook can govern, we have to put those beliefs into practice."
As Your Party's founding conferene gets delayed until the new year, the organisation behind-the-scenes looks increasingly worrying. Rumours swirl of secretive disputes, unofficial factions, and unelected leaders coup'd out of their own party.
In light of this, it falls to us - supporters on the ground - to put forward a new vision of what this party could be. Joining debates taking place across the country, this week's event will discuss democratic structures: what sort of party should we fight for? How could a new party empower ordinary people to become political organisers & leaders?
Before this event, we encourage you to read the article "Democracy Is More Than Voting": https://www.marxistunity.com/light-and-air/democracy-is-more-than-voting
We'll be using it as the starting point for discussing different models of democracy, and the best ways to build a socialist organisation. Don't worry about the specifics, like mentions of particular committees or "Robert’s Rules"!
Event format: After a short introduction, we'll spend most of the event discussing the article in groups of 4-5 people, with some time to discuss it with the whole room afterwards.

Bristol Transformed runs an annual festival of politics, arts and culture in April, and events every Tuesday evening throughout the rest of the year. See all our events here: https://hdfst.uk/bristol-transformed
We are a grassroots, volunteer-run, socialist education group. Bringing together activists, trade unionists, and everyone who wants to learn, we’re creating the space to discuss the most important issues facing us, equipping us with the skills and knowledge to transform Bristol and the world.
Bristol Transformed is run by dozens of local people. Without new people coming in every year, we wouldn't be able to maintain the same standard of political education events that you enjoy. If you'd be interested in joining us, sign up as a BT volunteer today and we'll be in touch! https://cloud.seatable.io/dtable/forms/d3a761c9-4c79-4b10-b38e-50bbad501bcc/
