Building a self-governing community begins with ordinary people making extraordinary choices.<\/strong> Every strong Local Assembly across Terra Australis started the same way: with a few awake and willing people deciding to gather, connect, and act.<\/p>\n

In time, every town will likely want its own Assembly. But in the beginning, it\u2019s often best to focus on a single Assembly for an entire Council region. This allows people to gather in greater numbers, express their collective will, and provide direction and guidance to the incumbent service corporations.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re considering volunteering as a Coordinator, this guide will help you see what\u2019s required \u2014 and show you how to start right where you are.<\/p>\n

1. Outreach:<\/strong> Building the First Connections<\/h2>\n

Your first role as a Coordinator is to reach out. Assemblies only exist when people gather \u2014 and that starts with conversations.<\/p>\n

Actions you can take:<\/h3>\n

Invite family, friends, neighbours, and awake community members to an initial meeting. Keep it simple \u2014 a BBQ, coffee, or catch-up in the park is enough.
\nShare the why:<\/strong> assemblies are about people stepping into their true authority to govern their communities, securing freedom for everyone, and creating peace.
\nUse social media, flyers, Telegram, and word-of-mouth to spread the word. Be creative.
\nAsk to have your Assembly and events listed on the National Assembly website.
\nThe initial goal isn\u2019t large numbers \u2014 it\u2019s to find the first few who share the vision. From there, momentum grows. You are not alone: there are plenty of resources and experienced people ready to help you get started.<\/p>\n

2. Assist People to Correct Their Status<\/h2>\n

Assembly meetings are open to everyone, and all are welcome to share knowledge and ideas. But if someone wants to take an active role \u2014 as a Coordinator, in an Action Group, or in elections \u2014 they must first correct their political status.<\/p>\n

Slaves and those with allegiance to a foreign corporation (e.g. Australian Citizens or residents) cannot assemble lawfully. Correcting one\u2019s status is more than paperwork: it\u2019s a shift in comprehension and requires support.<\/p>\n

Run paperwork workshops - encourage people to work and learn together.<\/strong><\/p>\n
