“The state democracy’s now in poses questions for all of us about how we respond” The UK's Democracy Summit (@democracynetworkuk.bsky.social) came to #Sheffield for the first time last week, discussing topics ranging from citizens' assemblies to pro-democracy tech. @sammgreg.bsky.social reports ⬇️

Had a great time at #DNSummit last Friday representing @newsmastfoundation.org! Huge thanks to @democracynetworkuk.bsky.social for putting it together (and for hosting away from London).

As part of the summit’s speed networking, I was asked what gives me hope. My answer was it’s people working together towards a common vision, even though there might be an infinite number of paths we take to reach that end goal. And events like this provide a platform for this (7/8)

Really pleased to have chaired an event about our put people first campaign with @democracynetworkuk.bsky.social @compinpolitics.bsky.social & to have heard from many others especially @electheruk.bsky.social
