    Unhelpfulness of the meme aside, always down for advice on how I can do more. I protest and volunteer when I can, I’m even trying to get involced in politics, but everytime I ask I get more good advice so might as well!

      talk to your coworkers about forming a union. think of the time you spend in mutual aid projects not as being volunteer work, but instead as being your real purpose driven work. understand that the terror america enacts abroad is the terror enacted domestically. the main reason we struggle to garner coalition support is that the right believes lies about us and the nascent left that would join us is outright fearful of the consequences. in this current environment, being in possession of documents clearly outlining the terror we live under is considered terrorism and a jailable offense. if you want people to not be scared to act you have to demonstrate to them that they are not alone and that you are on their side and that you’re willing to help them.

      this is a marathon not a sprint. also don’t be afraid to ask the people you meet along the way for help
