house meetings

Domestic group discussions

House meetings are gatherings held in someone's home for political organizing, community discussion, or grassroots campaigning.

Candidates for office hold house meetings to connect with voters in intimate settings; activists use them to build movements neighborhood by neighborhood.

The format emphasizes personal connection over formal venues: We're hosting a house meeting for the school board candidate next Tuesday.
