How do we build a new city within the shell of the old? How do we power map our home town and chart a path towards lasting transformation at the municipal level? How do we navigate and interact with existing institutions without disempowering our communities at the grassroots level? Join us for an engaging discussion about taking our organizing beyond the neighborhood level by building dual-power strategies for the systematic democratization of governance in our cities and towns.
What does it look like to build a structure and culture of democratic discussion and decision making in your own local community? How do we empower ourselves and our neighbors to participate directly in the decisions that affect our lives? What are the strengths and challenges of organizing popular assemblies in the current moment? Join us for a discussion on these questions, led by community organizers with wealth of experience building grassroots movements based on direct democracy.
We will discuss base building and why it’s important for a radical municipalist strategy.
Join us for a panel on how we can keep each other safe on January 7th or 8th 2025.
The goals of this teach-in are to bring attention to the radical municipalist initiatives Jadue implemented in Recoleta during his term, to highlight his unjust detention and incarceration, and to rally the global municipalist movement behind his case for freedom.
Building Power in Place is an introduction to the theory and praxis of movements we describe as radical municipalist. The toolkit will share practical tips to apply municipalist strategy to your local organizing context. And, it will include key takeaways, lessons learned, and case studies to inspire and support municipalist projects.
