I want to be able to support the causes I believe in and actually be a part of the change I want to see but I was never taught how to find, join and work with these groups.
I see all the time about protests and community action and people actually going out and helping people who need help and support and I always hated the fact that I only know about it happening after the fact and I want to get involved!
Any help would be much appreciated!
It’s very, very diffficult to find a way ‘in’, not least because there are a lot of groups you will one day know to avoid and they tend to be easier to find.
Think about what it is you want to do. Labour organising, direct action, protests and stunts, letter writing.
Attend protests and talk to people. Find relevant accounts on Mastodon and follow them.
And don’t be afraid to do your own thing. You don’t need to be under an official banner to get a group of friends together to picket your local representative, or block the entrance to EvilCorp, or whatever. Start getting involved where you can and you’ll make the connections.
