How Polis works
Polis allows you to respond to statements, vote on other ideas, and contribute your own. It analyses large numbers of responses to draw out threads of agreement and makes them visible. It helps us to move beyond the loudest voices to find a true consensus.
How did we get here?
A Community Assembly took place on Saturday 12th September at Love & Rage in London. The assembly discussed the question:
“How might we restore our failing water systems to secure a long-term future for all people, life and habitats?”
The assembly heard from three speakers; Doug Parr, Chief Scientist & Policy Director, Greenpeace UK, Dr Lynne Jones, XR Health and honorary associate professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and a visiting scientist at Harvard University and Steve Conlon from the XR Dirty Water Campaign.
The assembly went into small breakout groups to discuss the question and what they'd heard from the speakers. Then, together, they found outcomes they agreed on.
The three top outcomes from each breakout group were added to Polis as 'seed' statements. These statements act to spark the conversation with other participants using Polis.
