Required information: My Name’s Dan, I go by Eazy8 or some version of it online, I’m from Michigan, and I have been into graphic design and posters for a while, I’ve done some various protests for a while, I’m an amateur historian in college to become a professional historian, and I am hoping to study poli-sci and sociology as well;
Recommend information:
-Quick personal Info: I am 22, going on 23, I like doing graphic design, used to do short films in highschool, but I haven’t done that in so long I wouldn’t even consider it a skill; I’m a reenactor, specifically Viking age, so I have a lot of experience dealing with skinhead assholes, as mentioned above, I have an interest in history and politics, and would like to make a career out of it; I’ve mainly done manufacturing work for Herman Miller mostly, but also Gentex, or customer service retail jobs, which I hate; my current career path outside of history is leaning towards beer making and bartending, as I do home brewing and want to maybe do it as a side gig or a back up
-What you want to do for AIF: Well, I want to become more involved in making real change, as I’ve worked a lot of non-union jobs and a unionized job, and so I’m super passionate about unions as a result, and I’ve lived in areas with a lot of income inequality, which influenced me into Democratic socialism, and most of my friend group is queer and non white, and so I’ve seen a people in very close to struggle with issues of oppression and I feel like I have a responsibility as friend to them and as an American in general to stand up for what’s right an make real change; I’d like to get more involved in protests, but I have a hard time finding out about them, and I do graphic design for fun, so I might be of use in making logos, flyers, and what not
-Why you joined this server/AIF in general: I was browsing the subreddit, and saw the link, and figured it would be an excellent way to get more involved with further organizing, since I feel sporadic and unorganized action is ineffectual at best, and I want to play a part in making my country a better place
-Your location by U.S. state: Michigan, specifically West Michigan, just outside of Grand Rapids, which is unfortunately a rather conservative area, which makes organizing difficult
