If you’re not already connected to local organizing efforts where you are, start looking for ways to change that:
- Look up if there are any mutual aid hubs around you
- go to protests and ask around
- try to get involved with food not bombs and see if you can get linked in with more efforts
- If ICE/CBP were sent to your state, you might ask folks who organizes ICE watch in your area. Here in central NC thats a workers rights group called Siembra
Any efforts to protect our futures and our neighbors will happen through local organizing with people in YOUR community, where YOU are at. If you want a democracy, this chapter of history seems to demand that we work for it; start figuring out how to get connected.
If you have advice or encouragement for folks, please feel free to share it ❤️
50501 is a great way to get connected! They have a discord server for NC (https://discord.gg/62cWYvwgs) with channels where folks will discuss other projects for a local area, it can be a great entry point! For folks seeing this it might be worth seeing if they have a server for your state also!
Excellent words of wisdom. It will take working together.
I’m sorry to hear y’all have faced harassment, I imagine it varries by where you are. I’m fortunate enough to live somewhere pretty progressive despite being in a red state. Sending love my friend, thank you for your efforts!
