Progressive stack
open-in-new
<p>The progressive stack is a technique used to give <a href="/facts/Marginalized_groups/8or1ar6F">marginalized groups</a> a greater chance to speak. It is sometimes an introduction to, or stepping stone to, <a href="/facts/Consensus_decision-making/z965PMKc">consensus decision-making</a> in which simple majorities have less power. The technique works by allowing people to speak on the basis of race, sex, and other group membership, with preference given to members of groups that are considered the most marginalized. </p>
