I need people who can collect images from around the web, and annotate them. You will need:
  • An anonymous email address
  • A web browser
  • Patience

@everyone Big old hello to the people here! We could really use any and all help with the following crowdsourcing problem: Our emerging Research Team is beginning to architecture an open source intelligence (OSINT) ingestion pipeline to process data and discover intel of interest. We need, in effect, help with crowdsourcing data, as well as probably more researchers to annotate data. We are currently looking for people to help with the following task (check out the job board!): @Doctor Eval, researcher: “I need people who can collect images from around the web, and annotate them. You will need: An anonymous email address A web browser Patience" "I need thousands of images of things that you would want to be able to detect in a crowd at a protest. Things like: Person dressed like police officer. Person dressed like a fascist. Person with gun. literally just get a shitload of pictures of any of the protests from the last 2 years, collect them up into a folder, zip it, and send it to me." "I need 5-10k images, and a few people for annotation" (edited)

@everyone Hi, I’m performing a Human Resources role for the collaboration discord. I’m looking for help with the unglamorous work I’ve taken up. As Human Resources, I keep track of the introductions channel for skills, meet with individuals to understand them and their goals better, introduce people to groups and point persons and get them to connect, provide basal organizational support, mediate conflicts, understand what projects are unfolding, post help wanted ads on here and on the subreddit, and make sure that people are aware of meeting times. Does the above sound like anything you’d like to do? I will likely be helping at a reduced level while I look for a new job irl, so I am in need for getting things off the ground.

Idk seems pretty dumb to me and I have no idea why this is something this organization should be involved in. I'm personally not at all interested in training a machine learning algorithm for identifying elements in a protest. Seems patently useless at best and easily weaponized against our interests at worst. Has anyone even voted to allow this massive endeavor to be promoted within this organization?

In theory you could buy store brand 8.5x11 sticker paper for sub 20$ and if you format a file to make an 8up of the image and provide your own paper it should be around a dollar a sheet, but it's been awhile since I worked at office Depot so it may be more expensive. This also involves cutting to size yourself which most print places will usually have a cutter available. You print the whole 30 pack of paper 8up with the design you spend ~50$ plus time for over 200 stickers. If you don't need that many show up with a formatted file that will print correctly on sticker paper they provide you could probably significantly reduce that figure and just pay a little over 2$ a sheet by the sheet.

Being familiar with other cultures’ graphical languages (Spanish American, Chinese American, etc.) would be helpful as well. 3. Translator. We are reaching out to other ethnicities and could use help translating distributable materials into Spanish, Mandarin, Tagalog, Vietnamese, etc. 4. Filmmaker. We can in general use more creatives. We have a number of writers, political scientists, and people knowledgeable about fascism for documentaries but could use more people who are emboldened to make bigger things like films. We already have film projects underway but could use more expertise. We could also use help finding pro-democracy or fascist footage. 5. Animator. Would be pretty cool to see what we can do with animation!

Got the go-ahead to set people up. Is there anyone who'd be interested in a project management role for a graphic design team? This would have the responsibility to organize graphic designers and lead productions. I will also be posting externally and expecting to draw in a lot of people fast in the coming week. Things will be ramping up. Got a flyer drive and a website to get going! (edited)

We’re looking for friends in Northeast Ohio (friends), Michigan (food drive?), Northern Kentucky (voter registration), Central Virginia (gun club), DMV area (gun club), New York (protests, networking), and Southeast Florida (friends). 7. People to post flyers locally. Monthly flyer drive. 8. People to reach out to unions and other groups. 9. Help with administration. Knowledge of management tools/information management would be helpful. 10. Drivers for carpool, Michigan and New York. 11. Other tasks discussed at the last public meeting. Contact: Skullmaggot.

Also, setting up vibeshifter as project manager for the flyer drive, if anybody is interested. I believe this is a good thing to help with as a starting assignment, but I don’t want to flood him with too many people at once, so keep me in the loop and we’ll figure out how to manage it. The flyer drive project should so far be congregating in the graphic designer channel.

I guess what are we approaching the unions about? Most run their own political and voter reg programs. Some would align with the values of the organization some would not. Are we looking to coalition build? I guess what is the objective and/or ask that we are making of organized labor?

Yes, at the moment, we’re in general just making connections and identifying local issues. The idea is to build a density of people locally to be effective at a goal. A lot of times I would want to be referring people to established organizations and establish contacts there to see how we can mutually help one another. I’m not yet aware of anyone who has contacted unions, but that is all useful work. We’re getting a website up, and hopefully that will be a better way to visualize what we’re about to other organizations.

There are opportunities to recruit union members into AIF. The original IF was founded by part of a unions sporting club. The Union Sportsman’s Alliance does conservation projects and holds shotguns shoots in my area. Mixed bag of political leanings. Either way I think the job could best be tabled until things are more organized. Just my suggestion.

Also, taking suggestions for a secure file editing system. Google drive unfortunately isn’t good enough. "If you are syncing your images, documents and contacts using any cloud services (iCloud, Dropbox or Google Drive for example), the police can use 'cloud extraction' tools remotely to access this information without your authorisation or knowledge, or they can make a legal request to the cloud service provider." A file editor should preferably be free, secure, and be able to have a large number of team members who can access it. I already have a knowledge base but it doesn’t appear to have direct file editing. I’d rather have a different system. (edited)

The Discord is publicly accessible and not a safe space for planning. More secure discussions for local chapters/etc. are recommended to take place over encrypted messaging apps (e.g. Element, Telegram, Signal). In general, there should be a culture of protecting one's personal identifiable information from potential bad actors. Gmail or others' personal emails are lacking in security, so an anonymous email (e.g. Protonmail) is recommended.

Got a request for some help with the website: On the home page, in the image carousel that scrolls through the flyers, we want to replace those with powerful photos, both historical and current, of resistance, protest, etc. Emotionally charged images to inspire and motivate people.

A good point has been raised regarding us using copyrighted images. We have to have permission from the owners unless the image is in the public domain or has a creative commons license allowing use.

So, the handbook we were editing has been edited. There’s more to fill out once we compile more information, so researching and interviewing people would be helpful if you would want to do that. We also could use writing/editing with a zine that we want to get up. That’s also the priority right now, and you can connect with currently touching grass to help out. Overall, I’d want to create a cycle of media and activation, so posts to a zine or subreddit should highlight current local issues or be energizing in some way. It’s also highly recommended that you chat with other people around (either online or irl) so that you build up enough of a relationship to be comfortable giving each other tasks towards communal goals.

I think I forgot to explain myself further: I've taken a hint from alt-right media about how they use negative emotions to activate their base. I've got enough of a plan to dish out constant work, but I haven't solved problems of engagement yet to power any plans. I'm experimenting with what media may do with creating a cycle of emotions. I don't think our members would want to be in a negative mindset, so I was looking to create a feedback cycle of positive emotions like excitement. For example, str8 up demon is motivated to teach about America's labor movement to win local elections. I'd see if I can make a hype train and merge people's (momentary) passions towards common goals. I could also stick with a person and try to merge other people into their projects, but overall we ought to focus on fewer projects. I'd probably see if we could hit up core project people to see what intel could be shared or what info we could ask to be crowdsourced. We could try horhay as well for social media stuff.

I could also stick with a person and try to merge other people into their projects, but overall we ought to focus on fewer projects. I'd probably see if we could hit up core project people to see what intel could be shared or what info we could ask to be crowdsourced. We could try horhay as well for social media stuff.

What matters really if it works towards actually getting stuff done. I've been wanting to focus on the core project of tracking fascists since that's what people wanted to do. (Training should be open with joe hill's revenge, by the way.) What are you engaged with/excited about, Dandelion Bodies?

I think I want to at least stick to people since I should be able to answer questions.
