GETTING IT TOGETHER

Getting together is essential for genuine progress. We cherish the power of collaboration it’s how ideas grow, actions are taken, and real change happens.

This section is dedicated to building connections: among supporters, advocates, and anyone interested in bettering our community and economy. We host regular discussions, share updates on our advocacy efforts, and facilitate workshops centered on our manifesto’s goals. Everyone is invited to share ideas, voice concerns, and participate in creating solutions.

Collaboration goes beyond words it’s about forming real partnerships with local organizations, businesses, and individuals. If you’re interested in joining our meetings, participating in project groups, or simply learning more about what we do, this is the place to start! We’re always open to new voices and innovative ideas.

You’re also welcome to share your questions or propose topics you want us to explore further. While we won’t run a traditional FAQ section, we encourage direct engagement after all, the most meaningful questions come from you.

Everything Everywhere All At Once

We all know that everything is connected to everything else. 

To be happy and healthy, first we need good health. To have good health we need good housing. Everybody needs to feel secure that they can afford their rent and their bills, or their mental health suffers. Housing that is damp or mouldy makes people physically ill. So by not sorting out housing, the States will increase the costs of mental and physical health down the line.

Cooperating Across Committees

The new island wide voting system gave us a very divided States Assembly. This division has stopped delivery and fed directly into the housing crisis, management of the island’s finances, and mistrust of government. In the next States, we need co-operative working all deputies need to agree strategic targets, set deadlines and deliver them. The new States Assembly also needs to mend relations with the Douzaines every Douzaine or parish should have assigned deputies who keep them updated.

Citizens’ Assemblies

Local people must have a chance to tell deputies about their needs
directly not through comments in the Guernsey Press or posts on Facebook but as part of the process of government. Citizens’ Assemblies are groups made up from volunteers, like a jury pool. The volunteers are sorted into representative groups so, for example men and women, people from different parishes, people from different levels of income and are randomly picked from each group. You end up with a group where all the different groups are represented. Then a whole load of experts on the subject come in and give presentations. Citizens’ Assemblies get one Big Question to answer it’s a big responsibility, but it’s important.

Whether it’s tax or housing or education
