In this episode, Liz Darrow and Elias Lopez speak with Denzel Caldwell, an organizer of the Black Nashville Assembly, about how grassroots self-governance happens in spite of electoral politics. We examine the structure of the assemblies that Denzel is familiar with organizing as we prepare for our own People's Movement Assembly this Saturday. Come join us to put these dreams of participatory democracy into action. We will be gathering at 1295 E Bakerview Road from 10am -2pm. You can RSVP here.

Denzel also participated in a webinar on assemblies with FUJ's very own Edgar Franks. Check out the entire recording of that here.
