Why This Matters
If the official public process is symbolic, communities need parallel structures where real deliberation can occur.
What This Looks Like in Practice
- Monthly public assemblies where residents deliberate on issues before council does.
- Community‑run “People’s Minutes” documenting what actually happened in meetings.
- Structured testimony sessions where residents prepare evidence together.
What This Changes
You create a functioning democratic space outside the hollow one. Over time, the parallel structure becomes the reference point for legitimacy.
