Action: figuring out who to volunteer for (and how)

[tanaqui]

Thinking about getting (more) involved in local activism in 2017 but not sure how to go about it?

#JointheMovement aims to:

connect more people to existing activist powerhouses before the inauguration to further build the strength of our movement and fight isolation, alienation, and complacency.

As the people who created #JointheMovement point out:

there are many groups and organizations that are ready to provide the training, community, and accountability that we’ll need to stay strong for the work ahead.

You can take the #JointheMovement quiz to find out which groups might be the best fit for you, or check out the full list of organisations.

The quiz focuses on groups in three specific urban areas. If you don't live in one of those three, it's not all that helpful.

I keep hoping for one of these that will match me in terms of the skills I have and the things I can do.

Sadly, I don't live in the areas for the quiz, but I took it anyway and I'll see if they have a local chapter here. Thanks!

does anyone know if their activism is accessible for people low on spoons?

[tassosss]

I would think that would depend on the organization you end up working with. Some orgs need admin help that can probably be low spoon, some need more boots on the ground type activity.

Do you know what you're interested in/matched on?
