The article discusses the emergence of popular assemblies in cities like Providence, Detroit, and Richmond as a response to the perceived threat of Trump's agenda. These assemblies function as organized spaces for progressive communities to strategize and mobilize against fascism, focusing on initiatives like the hotline for reporting ICE activities and creating safe spaces for collective action. The Providence General Assembly has been actively engaging the community since last November, fostering a welcoming environment for all to participate in their mission of building a better, more democratic society.
Walking through Providence, Rhode Island, it's hard to miss the flyers posted on storefronts, bulletin boards, and lamp posts rallying passersby with a defiant call to action: Let's Fight Trump's Fascism! Defend Our Communities! Build a Better World!
What is a popular assembly, exactly? In Providence, assemblies have been held every other Saturday in a downtown Methodist church since last November... These gatherings offer a space for anti-fascist and progressive forces to coordinate, strategize, and make decisions together to build power that can be leveraged against the U.S. government.
