About The Metropolitan Global
The Metropolitan Global is a Citizens' Jury.
It is a simple system that allows ordinary people to take responsibility together.
Members propose real local problems, discuss them respectfully, vote twice a month, and then act on the winning decision in public. We've started this project in Western Maine, believing proof has to be real before the project grows.
- ✔ It is not a traditional charity.
- ✔ It is not a political party.
- ✔ It is not another place to argue online.
- ✔ It is a structured way for regular people to stop waiting and start participating.
What We Stand For
- ✔ Personal responsibility paired with community outreach
- ✔ Transparent decisions and visible results
- ✔ Equal voice for every member in the voting cycles
- ✔ Solving problems, not people
- ✔ Starting local and staying honest about what was actually done
Our Purpose
We believe the habit of outsourcing every problem to institutions has made communities weaker. When ordinary people deliberate, decide, and follow through together - even in small ways - responsibility becomes possible again. That is the work.
