Support

We’d love to know if you are planning a Community Assembly in your local area so that we can support you with any questions you have, help obtain expert advice and possibly help provide facilitation. Please:

  • Get in touch via our UK Asssembly Sharing Telegram chat to let us know about your assembly, to ask questions, meet other Extinction Rebellion local groups organising assemblies and share your experiences.
  • The UK Assemblies team offers online drop-in sessions for people planning community assemblies who want to share ideas and ask questions. If you'd like a Zoom drop-in, please either:

Communications

There's lots to do in advance and afterwards (especially to support any funding bid). We've got your back... If you need support on organising press releases, getting your assembly on XR's Events Map, or getting broadcasts out, if you can get your support request in as early as possible, you have the best chance of getting support. Go here to request Comms Support.

Working with the Press

An important part of your communications plan for the assembly will be sharing your event with the press. This will include writing one or more press releases, and identifying the press contacts to share those with. To help with this please see the following resources:

Funding

For assemblies that happened before 17th January guidance is available on this page.

For assemblies happening in the future, or which have happened since 17th January, check out the General Fundraising Guidance.
