Democracy is the power of the people. Engaging in or advocating for more participatory forms of decision-making is central in allowing the general populace to have their voice heard and their hopes realised through policy. Engage in participatory democracy and demand that governments actually implement the reports and proposals generated by these assemblies (that exist on local, national, and EU-levels ). 

Citizens assemblies are often randomly selected, but there are other ways to get involved in policy proposals and decision-making. Search on the European Citizens' Initiative page to start or sign a policy proposal for the EU!
