Municipalist organizing envisions self-governed localities where neighbors can govern themselves and build alternative economic policies based on cooperation and solidarity. This toolkit combines research findings, best practices, and case studies to promote direct democracy, coordination between different social movements, and a 'solidarity economy' centered around social equity, environmental sustainability, and pluralism. It provides an overview of municipalist theory, insights on support building, developing local assemblies, and incorporating theory into practice.
