Q: The POP Huddle has been accused of being a small group, lurking in the shadows. Who is the POP Huddle made up of?A: Rumors are funny. It’s hard to lurk in the shadows when you have a website, public meetings, social media platforms, and a newsletter. The founder and chairperson, Laura Wilson is a writer, stay-at-home mom, and 20-year Reading resident. There are 750+ subscribers to the POP Huddle newsletter, with about 90% residing in Reading. Over 20 people help Laura with the logistics of running the group (updating social media and the website, curating actions, preparing for events, etc). Hundreds of others take action in these efforts.

Q: Don’t you think organizations like the POP Huddle cause divisiveness in our community when you call out your neighbors for expressing their opinions?A: We believe that speaking out against “opinions” that express racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, or that support banning books about the Black and LGBT+ community is more important than any harmony we might have.
