Re: Inauguration Day

No one is coming to save us. Those who control our government are either too indifferent or too unwilling to use their influence to grant us meaningful relief.

They can’t even be bothered to slow the collapse of ecosystems that they themselves rely on

Meanwhile, far-right extremists are so appalled by democracy that they have & will continue to attempt to undermine what little influence we have through elections.

Fascists are feeding poison to poor & working people while lining their own pockets in the process.

So in the following week, we won’t be getting in the way of right-wing mobs & the State. We don’t have a stake in that fight

Instead, we’ll be working on supporting local Mutual Aid efforts, experimenting with neighborhood watch-esque groups to keep eyes out for fascists,...

& trying out some communication infrastructure to pull these different efforts together.

We are choosing this moment to build because no one is going to build what we need to survive & thrive for us.

This isn’t a call for volunteers for our efforts.

We are moving at the pace that we can walk & only taking on what we can handle.

But we’re hoping that you will find others & take action with them. We’re hoping that you do something defiantly hopefully, even if it seems small.

Drop a banner with a beautiful message.

Explore that abandoned house with savvy friends & see if it could be made into a home again.

Cook up a big batch of your favorite dish & share it with your neighbors & loved ones.

Take a friend to the range & show them how to shoot.

Plan out your guerrilla garden for the spring.

Make sure you invite the children & our elderly friends along. Make sure they have a real say.

Whatever you do, just don’t do it alone. We aren’t meant to be alone. We belong to each other.
