About the organisation
Sortition Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation founded in 2017 to build a movement for permanent, powerful citizens’ assemblies. It generates income by delivering professional sortition services to governments, civil society, and organisations like the Global Assembly, using surplus funds to campaign for a democracy fit for the 21st century. We are structured as a workers' co-operative. The values that guide our goals are Social Justice and Collective Wisdom and the values that guide our culture are curiosity, care, and courage. We have a small but growing team across the UK, Australia, and the EU.
About the project
In 2024, the Sortition Foundation launched the 858 Project to mark 858 years since King Henry II introduced juries in the UK. Juries have proven essential to our legal system, and now it's time to put ordinary people at the heart of politics with permanent, powerful citizens' assemblies, starting in Greater Manchester.
The Sortition Foundation, alongside democracy movement allies, is campaigning for a permanent citizens' assembly (CA) in Greater Manchester. Greater Manchester's governance is flawed, with a mayoral authority backed by a small, indirectly elected Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), leaving residents with just one vote every four years. A permanent CA would address this deficit by giving people a voice and holding leaders accountable. A CA would not only benefit Manchester but strengthen the Mayor’s decision-making and boost the region’s influence. As metro mayors expand nationwide, this campaign sets a powerful precedent, positioning Manchester as a leader in democratic reform.
About the role
The Sortition Foundation and its allies already have over 10,000 registered supporters in Greater Manchester—your job is to use a transformative organising approach to activate them and grow this base even more! You’ll help get people along to the campaign launch in the spring, then work with active supporters to use door-knocking and other methods to bring people together to demand greater democracy in Greater Manchester. Crucially, you’ll collaborate with individual supporters and community groups to develop a shared vision for the specific powers and responsibilities of the citizens' assembly, then use a series of escalating tactics to collectively lobby the Mayor and GMCA. You’ll be strategically and emotionally supported by the campaigns director and work as part of a small, crack team, including the head of press, head of public affairs, and digital campaigner, covering press, messaging, digital supporter acquisition and building relationships with organisations, institutions, and influential individuals across Greater Manchester.
