    Organize wherever you can. Learn to organize, spread your ideas, and get people to act on them. The places where class struggle occurs are where we want organizations but sometimes you gotta build to that. Turn your happy hour with coworkers into a union organizing committee. Invite some neighbors over for dinner and after a few good nights form a neighborhood committee or tenant's union. Go to city meetings and talk with the people there about how to make things better. You have friends? Invite them to go volunteer at the local soup kitchen with you.

    Practice the mass line. Identify the people's problems, plan how to solve them, and solve them, involving the people in every step of the way.

    Join an org. If you can't join a serious org join the DSA. Not only do they have resources for you, but if you can't join an org, chances are other people like you can't join an org either and went to your local DSA. Other similarly directionless but well intention groups also exist if you really can't stomach the DSA. Also get involved with interest groups to be tied to the broader movement.

    Read and study, not just theory, history and economics as well. Try to find a group and read with them.

    Unless you're part of a disciplined org in an area they're active in (chances are you aren't) your job is to be an activist within the narrow field that you can see. If you are part of an org they'll give you direction and you won't have to ask this question.

    There are lots of different resources to learn to organize and a lot of it you kind of just have to learn through practice. Many socialist, anarchist, and labor oriented websites have basic guides. Sometimes unions or worker's centers offer trainings (my local AFL does). EWOC does regular trainings. Read books about organizing like Jane McAlevey's stuff. If you want more specific recommendations I'll try my best to get you them.
