Militia

Militia means a group of people who come together to protect their community. Imagine you and your friends have a special club where you make rules and do activities together. Now imagine that your club has a very important job, which is to keep your neighborhood safe. This job is so important that adults also want to join your club to help. Together, you are all part of a militia.

In the olden days, people used to form militia to protect their homes and towns from danger, like wild animals or enemy countries. Nowadays, militia can also mean groups of people who protect their beliefs or ideas, like a group of people who want to protest for something they believe in. However, it is important to remember that the use of force is not allowed and conflicts should always be resolved peacefully.
