Our communities are engaged in intentional and deliberate assertion of our power. 

We are designing alternative practices, building institutions and infrastructure, imagining and changing our neighborhoods. 

We are centering people and spaces that traditional investment or development lenses do not want to see. 

We are facilitating our wild and beautiful ambitions. 

We are doing us, uninterrupted.




Schedule

September 18, 2025 — Practitioner Lab (By Invitation)

The first day of the Assembly is an invite-only session explicitly tailored for alternative ownership and finance practitioners. This focused day allows for in-depth discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities among experts and innovators, building deep insights and knowledge exchange. While this gathering is intentionally limited in size to support deeper dialogue, we’ll be lifting key learnings throughout the full Assembly.


September 19–20, 2025 — Public Assembly

The second and third days of the Assembly celebrate how individuals and communities mobilize to reclaim our neighborhoods, towns, and cities to create sites of liberation, resistance, care, and refusal. This is a national space rooted in place, grounded in local work and connected to movements across the country. Through assembly practices, panel discussions, workshops, art, rest and more, we will learn, explore and build these transformative visions together.
