Is news really activism? Will this place be the change u wanna cause? - eviltoast

Yeah I get it, everything fucking sucks and sometimes we get a win. I’ve been here for 30 minutes tops and I can’t remember half of the headlines I’ve read, can you? There’s like no engagement on any of the posts here and there’s probably a dozen aggregators that post the same shit you’re looking at.

Shit that was written to nickel and dime you somehow, or lower down the food chain in an academic format for people actually paid to solve problems.

Leave the articles to the climate scientists and policy makers: This instance needs a place for people who get shit done, people who wanna change themselves and their immediate communities. We don’t have enough of that, anywhere.

    There are a lot of organizations but most communities don’t have an active local chapter of any of them. What’s needed is mostly not money, but time to talk with people you know, time to show up at local government meetings, time to recruit others, etc.
