As we head towards the next General Election, Citizens UK today launch their Citizens Agenda, an overview of the issues their membership has agreed are the most important to organise around.
Their community organising method provides a way for people to focus on what unites us, rather than what divides us. They do this by listening deeply to the people in our communities, identifying what change we need to make things better and engaging decision-makers to make those changes happen.
Now, their eighteen Citizens UK chapters have set out seven key issues they are asking the next UK Government to address. The Citizens Agenda focuses on the challenges our communities are facing and amplifies the voices of people who are experiencing the issues first-hand. They share their vision for change and solutions that could make a difference and hope the Citizens Agenda will contribute to shaping the political debate ahead of the next election.
After further listening and engagement they will publish a Citizens Manifesto with clearer and more detailed policy proposals.
