It can be hard to find/join activist communities, so let me at least tell you how I did it.

(If anyone else feels like they've meaningfully connected to local activist communities, lmk and I'll repost it. It'll be different for everyone but the more stories we can share, the better. Media makes it seem like the only way to get involved is to go to a march but that's actually one of the hardest ways to get involved.)

Ok, here is the story of how I got involved in Free DC.
What's happening in Minnesota is an escalation of things that have happened in other cities - Chicago, Portland, LA, DC. It could be coming to your city next.

I don't say that to scare you. But it might be good to ask yourself:

If this was happening in my neighborhood, who would I reach out to? How would I take action? Who would I trust?

Start building those connections now. If you already have some, strengthen them.
