@RickiTarr

I realize many of us are down, many of us are disappointed, pissed, disillusioned, etc.

What I want to know is how are we going to organize together to support each other practically.

I’m thinking networking building community, looking for areas of like minded people. Practical modular collaborative problem solving?

@EVDHmn @RickiTarr Reminding myself that once upon a time I was a very minor activist. My motto was "Less truth to power, more conscience to all." There's a bit of "brighten the corner where you live" in that, too. Each ember kept alive in dark times is a plus for the light.

@EVDHmn @RickiTarr I want to know how we're not going to leave rural, red state LGBTQIA+ people behind. I have no in-person community and really don't trust the locals AT ALL because of the "they're our friends and neighbors" rhetoric, and am living in poverty. Moving is not an option and I shouldn't have to move my homestead either. I don't expect to survive the next four years.

@KitMuse @EVDHmn This ^^^

I hear people saying Fuck the Red States, and I'm like tons of us live in them, we can't leave, but we still want and deserve good safe lives.

@KitMuse @RickiTarr

See this is exactly what we are talking about. I was meeting with our local lgbtq group the day after the election. I spoke to our artists group and local neurodivergent group. This will be our first meetup with all three groups+theres going to be plenty me-cfs people.

I think we could use some groups think tanking brainstorming, sharing ideas w groups

As AOC said we need community grass roots if possible. If you dont feel comfortable where you are at then stay safe.

@KitMuse @EVDHmn @RickiTarr I hear you. I'm in Tennessee in a rural area and all of my neighbors are maga. I thought about leaving, but I like my house and there's no guarantee a new place won't change (when I moved here it was a purple state with plenty of rational politicians). I am just minding my own business. Are there any community groups maybe in a nearby city you could get involved in for some community and support? I'm thinking of getting involved in the unitarian church in the nearest city because I know they share my values.

@EVDHmn Depending on where you live and your means, do things in your community and start with helping the people already doing things in your community. If not, things like starting a community fridge or food coop maybe. @RickiTarr

@EVDHmn Also, aim to be a helper to others and not the hero of your own story if you can. @RickiTarr
