Citizens' Assemblies OxCAN

The ‘Oxford Citizens’ Assembly Network’ (OxCAN) is an off-shoot of the Oxford Democracy Café.

OxCAN Purpose Statement

We'd love to hear your ideas about how to build support and understanding for a citizens’ assembly on the climate emergency and how CA’s can help do democracy differently. Please get in touch with Richard Pantlin at richardpantlin@yahoo.co.uk

A Citizens' Assembly for Oxford 28th & 29th Sept and 19th & 20th Oct
On 28 January 2019 Oxford City Council agreed to ‘join other Councils in declaring a Climate Emergency’ and ‘encourage this Council to establish a Citizens’ Assembly made up of a representative range of Oxford citizens to establish the facts and make recommendations for our city’. Oxford City Council has established an independent advisory group to provide governance and oversight of the citizens assembly. ODC is represented on this advisory group by a member of OxCAN.
