FUTURE DEMOCRACY HUB
In XR we are calling for a transformation in our democracy to facilitate the necessary policies to address the climate and ecological emergency for all of us.

The Future Democracy Hub is a central location and resource to support this transformation and all those who want to take an active part in it. If you want to know how to begin TODAY, read on
