Upgrade Democracy

Friday 30 August – Sunday 1 September
Windsor, Berkshire, England

What happened in Windsor?

Over three days, we came together as a vibrant community to explore innovative ways to upgrade democracy. Our political system is broken, corrupted by powerful interests that prioritise profit over the planet. By gathering near to where the Magna Carta was signed, we emphasised our commitment to a fairer, more inclusive system.

Friday | The System Is Broken:

Theatrical action on the Long Walk to highlight how oily money controls our world.

Saturday | Upgrade Democracy:

A march to the gates of the castle to deliver a hot pink letterbox full of letters to the King! Then a ‘Massembly’, a huge community assembly, asking how we can upgrade UK democracy.

Sunday | Another World Is Possible:

Love is action. A drum-filled, life-affirming march, a die-in and speakers updated us on the latest science of the climate and ecological emergency, climate justice and deliberative democracy. We were joined by some suffragettes, a Gaia puppet and some ‘fUNFAIR’ games.
