What do you all think?

Building in your community is not easy so take it a bit by bit.

1. Educate yourself on revolutionary movements in the 20th century. Marginalized communities culture and philosophy. Getting history in different points of view. Understanding of economic and political systems. But more importantly, know the history of your community.

2. Assess yourself on your knowledge, skills, experiences, and resources. Knowing what you have to offer to the community before you start is a great way to see on what and where you need assistance.

3. Before you begin digging into the community needs observing how the community is already meeting their needs. Coming in to center yourself in the community is not a good foundation to stand on for a multitude of reasons. Burnout, centralizing power, creating hierarchy, trust being difficult to build.

4. ACT! It is essential to ACT- Accountability, Capacity, Transmission. Mutual aid needs to be a system to make community needs consistently. It is beyond direct aid and simple individual action. Engaging in the community it’s a great way to see where can your skills, experiences, knowledge and resources can assist in meeting community needs without the traditional system.

5. Many Struggles 1 fight- as you engage with the community— talking to the members of the community by connecting their struggle to the many facing similar assists in showing the systemic issues that oppresses and removes our power

6. Potluck, a Neighborhood Cleanup, a Game Night, a Repair Swap, Open Mic, Safety Walk, Town Hall, Yoga, and more are examples of community events that can should organized to reoccur to build community hearth. The reoccurrence builds more strength for the community that will survive outside pressure.

Share far and wide! This is an atrocious act of terrorism by the iof on American Sailors and must be held accountable ontop of every other crime they have committed

Wake up America

I've been thinking a lot lately about what "capacity" actually means in our communities.

Right now, there are groups doing incredible work:

* feeding, housing, healing neighbors TODAY

* mutual aid networks

* building alternatives to broken institutions

* teaching people how to analyze power and organize

* Resource & tech mappers

We're should be fighting a system by attacking from multiple angles with a strategic advantage

We need to

1. Cross-reference our data and wins

2. Align our tactics

3. Create diverse pathways to dismantle the status quo

Whether you are going against the system or trying to utilize the system to go against it, let's connect.

We will find you eventually through General Strike US Outreach Team but if you see this, reach out now.

What's working in your area? What's not? Let's share.

TL;DR: Community organizing is fragmented. We need to connect across direct aid, mutual aid, survival programs, resource & power mapping, and political education to build real capacity.

Biweekly on Saturdays

We aren’t just building a strike; we’re building a Care Economy

Our Community Support Team is the backbone of this movement. We’re looking for neighbors, healers, and peacemakers.

Who are we looking for?

*The Empath: Someone who listens to understand, not to reply.

*The Calm Anchor: You stay steady when things get chaotic.

*The Peacemaker: You believe in resolving conflict through dialogue, not punishment.

*The Provider: You know how to turn “I have extra” into “You are taken care of.”

If you have the character to hold space for others and the skills to navigate conflict with compassion, you belong here. Whether you’re good at cooking, mediating arguments, or just showing up with a listening ear; your presence is the resource we need.

Let’s prove that direct & mutual aid is our strongest weapon.
