mass meetings
Big public assemblies
Mass meetings are large public gatherings called to address a common concern or rally support for a cause.
The term evokes political movements and community organizing: The abolitionists held mass meetings throughout the North.
Unlike regular assemblies, mass meetings emphasize scale and collective energy—the goal is to demonstrate broad public sentiment or mobilize action.
