About Public Assembly Public Assembly envisions a world where people can easily come together to support each other and effect meaningful change in their communities. Our platform makes political and community organizing among friends and peers easy, safe, intuitive, and effective.

Our goal is to make it simple for people to form clubs, memberships, or PACs; govern them easily; pool their money; and collectively bargain with politicians. We want to give regular people the tools to get what they want and the power to withdraw support if needed.
