Hey y'all, there's a great Instagram acct called gogreensavegreen that just released three awesome resources for getting involved in collective action!
I'll include the link, they're going to be updating them and helping them grow, and they're AWESOME. Collective action is huge! Individual action is great for getting motivated, connecting with the earth, understanding resources, and growing passion, but these resources will take you further. I love just scrolling through them.
If you care about this and don't really know where to start THIS is for you. If you feel hopeless about our situation THIS is for you. If you find it hard to find like minded people THIS is for you!
Please boost and spread the word about this. We need as many people taking action as possible, and maybe this will help someone out there find their niche, their calling, their hobby, their action!
As the elections approach, it's a good time to emphasize the importance of continuous local organizing and direct action.
Beyond the Rube Goldberg machine of representative democracy, what can we do together?

Whoever is elected, let's be ungovernable.
Every day Landry and the ultra right-wing legislature in Baton Rouge launch a new attack against Louisiana’s workers. They figure they can get away with it because Landry’s corporate funders—the real force behind the attacks—have near total control of news and social media, which they count on to keep us misinformed, ignorant, and divided. We can’t let this situation stand.
"We’ve launched the Louisiana Worker to get out the facts and spread news of organizing to working-class Louisianans across the state. We need to break through the lies and censorship of the big business media and expose the real cause of our hardships. We need to show the power of working class unity and fight back.

Sad news to report: Julien Terzics, the French anti-fascist, former Red Warrior (legendary crew that fought against neo-nazis in the streets) and drummer for world-renknowned oi! band, Brigada Flores Magon, has succumbed to cancer. Rest In Power, comrade. REMEMBERING MEANS FIGHTING!
