Take inspiration also from Indivisible.org. You might have a local chapter to which you could bring some magic while you learn from established members. Their site has a search engine to help you find one near you. If there isn’t, you could start one!
All great suggestions and be outraged! My heart goes out to people like you south of our border. As a Canadian I can barely sleep, so it must be hell for you right about now.
Thank you. Yes it’s rough. I’m struggling, loved ones are struggling, and my psychotherapy clients are struggling. But taking action and sharing feelings and ideas in community are powerful antidotes!
As far as I can see, a General Strike is the most powerful tool available to the progressive/radical left. France successfully uses it every few decades. We need to also, or else there won't be a democracy left to fight for.
As well as doing whatever it falls to us to be able to do we can support others who are particularly in a position to act (elected reps, judges, activists, leaders of all sorts) and also those who are the victims of events and have few choices but to be brave and resist.
We can do this with 💴 with 🙌 with 🙏 with👂 with ✉️ with ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 with <it won’t let me put in my live long and prosper emoji sticker> and any other ✨ we can send.
I've got a bunch of trans youth and elders and immigrants who want to become more active indirect action but have no experience and I'm wondering if you could recommend someone who could do a training for us or if you'd be interested in doing it? please get back to me when you have a chance.

My senator has deleted all of his phone numbers from his site, so that we are unable to contact him by phone! Thank you, Dave, McCormick, republican of Pennsylvania

Thank you for this. Our reps here in Vermont have actually started updating us with email daily what is happening, which frees up energy.
You're lucky to have Bernie!
We are, and it’s Becca Balint’s office that is sending the daily updates.

Remember when I mentioned a General Strike here months ago, Starhawk? What are your thoughts on doing that too? There is talk of one starting Feb 28.

Thank you Thank you - well thought and effective actions ... I appreciate the structure to GATHER.

Perfect. Sharing with multiple other groups. So needed and timely

Welcome. It's so good to find you here.
Permission to post on the Meta Mess - FB etc?
Wonderful! Yes community is so important in this time.
I feel lucky living in Canada, but as an American also isolated.
You may get a lot of company soon from this side of the border!
