The answer will depend on what orgs are in your local area. If you’re willing to share a general location and any specific interests I could do some digging.

I don’t know anything about this site but I just found it by searching: https://www.mutualaidhub.org/

Or if you’d rather search on your own, I’d look for things like [your city/region] mutual aid, resist, antifa (the last one going to be about more confrontational action so consider whether that’s your specific niche).

Another approach is to just ask friends who seem politically connected if they’ve heard of any local orgs.

Personally I would be wary of any highly top-down orgs that enforce a particular narrow ideology. Some of these can be a bit cult-like. Also get a feel for how people interact and leadership operates. Are people supportive and kind to one another or is there a lot of tension and fear? Personally I haven’t had any bad experiences yet but it’s something to be aware of if you don’t have the lay of the land in your local area.

In most cities there will be a variety of groups with different approaches and focuses, so shop around a bit and find the one that is a good fit for you.

Previously yes, though it’s less clear with Trump.

This is outright dishonest. Why post this?

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago

Very interesting, thank you.

Is it down? I thought it was basically unchanged.

Maybe depending on your starting point. What years are you comparing?

I’m aware. Just using a situation familiar to many Lemmy users as an analogy. I don’t live in Spain so perhaps there is a similar form of ignorance there but I would not know.

“Natural” disaster.

This is like when republicans whine about how inappropriate it is to criticize loose gun regulations after a mass shooting.

No. This is exactly the time to bring it up.

So not Stein. I think your comment is worded somewhat misleadingly but alright.

What??? When did that happen? Source?

Don’t worry, appeasement always works out against these guys.

Early voting is not an accurate prediction of the results of the whole electorate. Very different demographics.

But are they deliciosa?

 

Already posted an article on this last month but it fascinates me and I thought this was a good overview :)

 

I seriously encourage anyone to think about doing this. Navigating the bureaucracy can be annoying but the chances of success are much higher than guerilla planting. I’ve seen lots of hard work get mowed down by uncaring city employees, so getting them on board ahead of time is worth the effort.

There’s a bit of post-Christmas cheer on the menu for elephants at the Berlin Zoo: they can chomp on Christmas trees that didn’t find a home.

As the world’s climate warms, tree growing ranges in the Northern Hemisphere are predicted to move farther north and higher in elevation.

Trees, of course, can’t get up and walk to their new climatic homes. This is where assisted migration is supposed to lend a hand.

The Biden administration is moving to conserve groves of old-growth trees on federal land by revising management plans for national forests and grasslands across the U.S. as climate change amplifies the threats they face from wildfires, insects and disease.

Agriculture Sec. Tom Vilsack said the goal was to provide an “ecologically-driven” approach to older forests — an arena where logging interests have historically predominated. It would be the first nationwide amendment to U.S. Forest Service management plans in the agency’s 118-year history, he said.

Details were obtained by The Associated Press in advance of Tuesday’s public release of the proposal.

It follows longstanding calls from environmentalists to preserve older forests that offer crucial wildlife habitat and other environmental benefits. The timber industry has fought against logging restrictions on government-owned lands.
