Improvements Needed
Make handbook easy to print

Add links
Update color with our coalition colors

When we write Version 2 of this booklet, let’s incorporate ideas from this presentation I gave on how sociocracy works in a movement as opposed to an organization.

Recorded presentation: https://www.sociocracyforall.org/sociocracy-in-youth-activism-how-youth-power-coalition-is-building-a-sociocratic-movement/

The big differences I identified were:

  • Membership = Open by Default, Consent to Confirm
  • Policies = Boundaries + Resources, Not Requirements
  • Aims = Sensed, Not Set
  • Domains = Held By Those Most Impacted
