How to have conversations to show we are more united than divided
Speaker: Anthea Simmons, Common Ground
Founder of Common Ground Org, co-founder of South Devon Primary and the Political Primary movement and author of 'The People's Primary' how-to book, Anthea Simmons will be talking about her own political journey from complacent Tory to committed progressive and activist for a better, participatory democracy. She will explore the role of primaries and street conversations in, hopefully, the last election cycle under first past the post, as we strive to mobilise the public to think and act politically.
George Monbiot recently wrote about Common Ground's impactful work in The Guardian.
