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, expert advice and possibly facilitation. Please fill in this form Community Asssembly Form to let us know about your assembly!

Please join our Community Assembly Sharing Telegram group to ask questions, meet other Extinction Rebellion local groups organising assemblies and share your experiences.

Denise, XR Gardener for Wales and part of the Community Assembly Working Group, is offering weekly online drop-in session on Fridays, at 3 pm for people planning community assemblies who want to share ideas and ask questions. Please join on this Zoom link .

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

Funding guidance is available here in this RT book
