People's Assemblies

Mike Strode is a writer, urban cyclist, facilitator, and solidarity economy organizer with the Kola Nut Collaborative residing in southeast Chicago. During this session, he will be sharing from his experience educating and organizing around People's Assemblies in Chicago as a member of the Community Councils Working Group and participating as a delegate from US Solidarity Economy Network to the Southern Movement Assembly. He will also offer a facilitator's examination of the Peoples Movement Assembly Organizing Handbook which intends to make some parts of the process more accessible to organizers unfamiliar with the model in practice.
