The House of the People

North America
Written By Ansel Herz

We all know one thing is certain - we need audacious transformations to seek a way out of the current democratic crisis. Today in the Boston Globe, we introduce a daring proposal to shift the conversation.

A new, fourth branch of government selected by democratic lottery. This body of ordinary Americans can reinstate common sense and trust in our institutions. And yes, it is a practical proposal for today and a strategic vision for tomorrow.

We can start now - read the article to know how.

We hope to see you at an event, whether in-person or virtual, this year! For more, follow us on LinkedIn or join us over at our new account on Bluesky.

Until next time,

The FIDE - North America Team
