No problem at all. There's a couple locations folks will post for our states and I'll be sure to keep an eye out for yours. We got this set up recently, so give it time for more folks to join in your chapter. Feel free to chat and talk to those outside your state too, there are ways to support outside your own state 🙂

Due to the high profile nature and wider appeal of protesting the overruling, a lot of protests will be posted openly on various civil rights groups websites. While many focus on gaining petition signatures en masse, some are also more direct-action oriented and (these tend to be less openly displayed as far as I have seen so look out for flyers and listen up online and on wour way about!)

Cpt. Benjamin Sisko 7/10/2022 4:51 PM
Militant social democracy interesting. I think regime change and offensive war rarely works so I’m “anti imperialist.” In a sense, but most of the online left gets their view of foreign policy from Red-Brown populist figures who never actually studied or worked in foreign policy institutions and who can’t extensively critique the actions of the US or NATO. I doubt any official WANTS to kill civilians but they are characterized as delighting in the suffering of Iraqi children or whatever. I think certain war crimes or acts of imperialism occur out of desperation or stupidity more so than actual desire for human suffering. And so I’m kind of hawkish but believe in solidarity between democracies, multilateralism and smart power. Offensive and/or unilateral war only as a last resort, just war theory. I support NATO as an institution more broadly.
4:53 PM
The left just has no alternative prescriptions… they don’t know an alternative solution to ensure security or hold terrorists or authoritarians accountable in the absence of NATO or American hegemony. The power vacuum if america also withdraws could be an opening for a lot of violence too so it’s a double bind (edited)

The MIC definitely is also from a rational amoral basis a security threat if it lobbies outside of the national interest but just for profit. Of course there is waste fraud and abuse too. I maybe have the idea of drawing down the military budget, letting the EU federalize and boost its own military spending and then rebalancing the budget to more agile or advanced tech and platforms, quality over quantity. As for the MIC itself idk whether to nationalize it or regulate or trust bust it.

@WindandGales @_Max @YourFriendlyNeighborhoodHacker What sort of information/resources do you think you need to get internally organized? AIF appears to be looking for skilled or active people. There’s also a lot of people to work with and at least the Human Resources Team has too few people to meet with everyone individually. That’s why I’m at least trying to establish point people. We currently don’t have enough people to organize everyone efficiently, so we’re looking out instead for those who are self-organizing. Emerging groups also seem to be fairly individual in their needs. One size does not fit all. So, what do you think you need to advance in your functionality as a group so far?

Agree with @YourFriendlyNeighborhoodHacker Once we have something like that we can effectively begin to plan. Right now we'd just kinda be spinning our wheels on ideas/meetings/etc. Outreach I think is super important. Getting ourselves with the right established community leaders, organizers and such. We need to use what's already been established here to help build out our messaging as well as lend a hand to those doing similar work/work we'd also want to do ourselves. I am also personally interested in working with a chicago chapter to help create videos to help pump out specific anti Fascist content. That's where personal skills can best be used. In the mean time I'm happy to stay active on this page and help organize as much as I can.

Right. As for outreach, we have that values survey coming out to establish an identity and what we want to defend. That will be ultimately useful for presenting to other organizations who we are and what we stand for. Videos and content can also follow from establishing our group’s values. We can of course set up a “Media Team” concurrently for a test run, if you like. (edited)

Help from that would be writers, editors, and graphic designers (which I know we already have a good handful of) I am an editor and writer myself so I can handle a few projects at a time. But it would be awesome to have a smaller group of creatives with those skills, meet up have a channel to communicate from and create some concise work. That way we can pump out videos to be used by all the members across all the socials. Really nail down some campaigns for us.
