What will you be doing?

XRUK Assemblies is a well-functioning, happy team within Extinction Rebellion UK. We are passionate about promoting assemblies to show how participatory democracy can put the power of decision making into the hands of ordinary people.

Role Requirements:

• Represent Assemblies at XRUK meetings.

• Manage information flow between our team and others.
• Support Team Guides (Internal Coordinators) when necessary.
• Act as the main point of contact for other XR groups wanting to connect with the Assemblies team.

• XRUK, Local Groups, Regions and Nations have a broad understanding of the power of participatory democracy, and have the support they need to run community assemblies.
