We're a small team but it's time to step up. We're taking our award-winning Democracy Cafés nationwide to directly hear from young people about how we strengthen our democracy. Our polling shows that young people are passionate about the issues that affect them but feel like their voices are taken for granted. So it's time to give democracy the update it needs—one that truly listens to young people and brings them closer to our political system. Throughout February, March and April, we're travelling the U.K. to work directly with young people aged 16-30, meeting them in their communities to hear what they are passionate about and how our democracy can be strengthened. As always with MLMS, they will be youth-led, place-based and always in partnership with local community-based organisations. Wales, Scotland and NI, we're coming to you in March/April. If you want to partner with us in the coming months and put on a DeCafé, please just message me!

Hi Dan, I'm the coordinator of the Politics for the Many campaign (the trade union campaign for democratic reform) and live in Brighton - would it be ok to come along as an observer to inform our campaign? It would also be great to connect with you and any trade union members. Thanks Nancy
Right, tagging me in a post with that question is a dangerous game. ?? So fundamental, might be my lifetime’s work. Essay incoming!
Brilliant how can we get this in the South West?
Look forward to supporting this and working together Dan ??
Young peoples voices belong at the heart of Democracy!
Let’s add Belfast to that list Dan!
Amazing! I love this program
