    There’s work to do. If you are able to, start tomorrow. If not, schedule it later this week. Here’s the deal. You need to get to know your neighbors. You need to form mutual aid societies. No, these are not inherently revolutionary structures. But they help you pool resources and will increase the number of people in your direct vicinity who will survive the next 50 years. And you can leverage the networks they create to organize revolutionary action as conditions worsen. Harm reduction is necessary because you can’t get better if you’re dead.

    This starts with your first conversation. Reach out to someone tomorrow who you could see organizing with and have a conversation. What is wrong with your area? What frustrates them? Collectivize the issues. “You’re not alone”, “I’ve had issues with that too”, etc. Pick one thing you’re passionate about and figure what the minimal amount of work would be to get a basic solution working would be. Ask here if you don’t have any orgs in your area and need advice.

      I'm leaving my community because it will be underwater in 10 years.

      I don't have any orgs in my area and could use some advice.
