George Zisiadis co-coordinates an organization called of by for. They are advancing democratic lotteries as an alternative to our current electoral system. In essence, it would mean that a demographically and ideologically representative group of citizens are selected by lottery to serve as a decision making body for a set amount of time for the community that they represent. of by for is currently showing this in action in the real world, where in Michigan they've convened a Citizens' Panel on COVID-19 to make policy recommendations on the pandemic response. A documentary about the experience is in the works to be released later this fall. For more information, visit their website: https://joinofbyfor.us/
