SPEAKING UP, NOT DOWN

Value of grassroots

Your opinion matters. Politicians, business managers, and government departments should not be talking down to the people. Communities should be speaking up to them.

About us

Why

‘THE PEOPLE SAY’

The community should be speaking UP to decision-makers – not the other way around.

  • Beyond the loudest voices

    Social media, lobby groups and organised campaigns can make a minority look like the majority. We seek broader community participation.

  • Beyond yes or no

    Knowing 57% of people support something is useful. Understanding why they support it is considerably more useful.

  • Information that matters

    We turn community opinions into useful insights that can help governments, organisations and businesses make better decisions.

What People Are Saying

“Love it. Good initiative to make GC less car dependent.”

“Buses are always stuck in traffic”

– From Team Tram

“Buses always worked fine here and connected to the train line.”

– From Team Bus

“We have to make the buses work better first, but they are not the long-term solution and trams may not be the answer either.”

– From Team Alternate
