What does Better Democracy across the island of Ireland mean anyway?

The All-Island Better Democracy Network (@betterdem) is a new initiative by Involve, made up of a community of individuals and organisations from every corner of Ireland.

Projects like these can make a significant contribution to policy, activism and how we talk about tricky issues here in NI. We’re delighted to be offering advice and guidance on the design of the @CivicInitNI alongside some brilliant colleagues.
