Merge from Grassroots discuss Talk Grassroots democracy Merge discussion date June 2010 Democracy Grassroots democracy is a tendency towards designing politics political processes where as much decision making authority as practical is shifted to the organization s lowest geographic level of organization principle of subsidiarity . Clarify date February 2009 To cite a specific hypothetical example, a national grassroots organization would place as much decision making power as possible in the hands of a local chapter instead of the head office. The principle is that for democracy democratic power to be best exercised it must be vested in a local community instead of isolated, atomized individuals, essentially making it the opposite of national supremacy. As such, grassroots organizations exist in contrast to so called Participatory democracy participatory systems , which tend to allow individuals equal access to decision making irrespective of their standing in a local community, or which particular community they reside in. As well, grassroots systems also differ from republic representative systems that allow local communities or national memberships to elect representatives who then go on to make decisions. The difference between the three systems comes down to where they rest on two different axes the rootedness in a community i.e. grassroots versus national or international and the ability of all individuals to participate in the decision making process i.e. participatory versus representative.

Most of the time they are linked to some organization activity or the social campaign . These comics are photocopied and distributed to a limited area, which encourage local debate in the society. Grassroots Comics are inexpensive and method is not complicated, you just required a pen, paper and access to a Photocopier copying machine to produce one. What makes these comics different from professional material is the ownership of the content as well as. The comics are pasted up in all possible locations i.e. village s meeting place, bus stop s, shops, offices, schools, on notice boards and electricity poles or even on trees. One more important thing in these comics are the proximity of source of the communication and the readers. The campaign comics made by artists are not as close to reality as Grassroots Comics are. The local people understand their culture better. So the people are interested in what produced by their local activists or organizations locally.

Image GrassrootsRadio.png frame right GRC logo The Grassroots Radio Coalition is a coalition of community media activists. The GRC has a mailing list and holds a conference every year, but has so far not incorporated. There are no dues, no hierarchy and no bylaws. At the GRC11 in 2006, conference attendees decided to establish a steering committee to help coordinate coalition issues. Mission statement More than audio outlets, volunteer based community radio stations are cultural institutions in their communities, reflecting the unique concerns and passions of the people who live there. With a system of governance based on openness and collaboration, and diverse programming produced by volunteers and funded by listeners, these stations are cornerstones of participatory democracy, offering ordinary citizens the chance to exercise First Amendment rights in a mass medium and audiences the opportunity to directly support the programming that is of importance to them. History Image GRC11 Logo small.jpg frame right GRC11 Conference logo The Grassroots Radio Coalition was born in 1996, as a reaction against increasing commercialization of public radio and lack of support for volunteer based stations.
