Compass Oxfordshire is excited to announce our event delving into the critical issues facing our democracy. We've got some great speakers and we're keen to hear your thoughts on the day! 📅 Saturday 12 April ⏰ 1:45pm Sign up: actionnetwork.org/events/compa...
Compass Oxon is excited about our forthcoming meeting on 12 April on 'Putting the truth and our voices back into UK democracy'. 
Speakers: 

Neal Lawson (Director of Compass) - 'After the Riots': the economic disparity, cultural tensions and political disillusionment that feeds the far-right narratives infiltrating UK organisations and the need for a radical countervision. 

Calum Miller (Lib Dem MP for Bicester & Woodstock) - The urgent problem of press and social media disinformation. Do we have the systems and the will to regulate them effectively? Dr Isobelle Clarke (Lecturer in Security and Protection Science, Lancs Uni) - New research on some of the online techniques used to spread disinformation, with reference to Trump's tweets, trolling, pseudo-science & conspiracy theories. 

Mark Thomas (Director of the campaign group 99%, and author of the 2019 FT Best Book, 'Mass Impoverishment And How We Can End It') - Good Chaps politics, defensive constitutional reform, and the government steps needed to defend UK democracy against powerful bad actors. 

Rt Hon Tom Brake (Director of Unlock Democracy) - Increasing citizen engagement in voting and policymaking. What steps can we take to prevent our democracy from being poisoned by disinformation and to secure a workable, effective vision for 'the good society'?

On 1 Dec, Compass Oxon held a stall at the Oxford Town Hall Green Fair. Our campaign theme was ‘the democratic deficit’ - we asked people what reforms they feel are needed to restore trust in politics and strengthen our democracy.
