They also function as dual power, providing an alternative way of making community-wide decisions outside of the state.
Function
Assemblies are formed when a group of people that share something in common (such as a neighbourhood, workplace, school, organisation or protest) need to make decisions that affect that thing. People (usually no more than 200, larger groups organise into federations) will meet in a face-to-face environment at an agreed upon time (usually once a week) and date (usually in a plaza, park or town hall) to discuss, debate and decide upon their course of action. Roles such as mediator, timekeeper and notetaker are all delegated by a vote and can be recalled instantly.
