There are many ways to support the DCA! You can make a financial contribution to "Unify Dayton" which will support our first Assembly, as well as Assemblies to follow. If you're interested in receiving regular updates, you can sign up for our update newsletter to get the latest information on the Assembly.
The topic selection for the Assembly is rooted in community. The Advisory Board will work with the community to listen for priorities and potential issues that could benefit from a Citizens' Assembly.
The delegates are selected at random by a process called "sortition." Sortition is the process of selecting delegates at random, in order to obtain a representative sample of City of Dayton residents.
The Dayton Citizens' Assembly has been financially supported by the organizations listed on the "Our Partners" page. The Assembly's primary financial partners are the City of Dayton and the Democracy Funders Network. The Assembly has also received generous in-kind support by the Ohio State University IDEA, Dayton Mediation Center, Dayton Metro Library, and FIDE North America.
