Bringing residents together to name local problems and shape action steps together.
Community safety is framed around care, accountability, and systems that help people meet everyday needs instead of relying on punishment alone.
Assemblies lead into concrete planning: event roles, turnout goals, resource mapping, and support networks for moments of crisis.
