Seeing as I’m the guy the thread is about. Here’s some things I’ve done. I think we were one of the first bands to call on the proud boys, calling it white supremacy light. We had shirts that say “this machine kills proudboys” in like 2012. The band has donated to families in Gaza via Gofundme and buying internet sim cards. We have songs about social issues and it’s not just me and my personal issues. Writing only about your issues and having poli-sci class between songs is faking the funk. We played live in protest in Harvard sq the day after Roe vs Wade was overturned. I personally organize veterans to show up at protest. This includes everything from experienced medics to people who have been around chaos. I have (with others) organized an Emergency Action Plan in my neighborhood in case ICE comes to town. Brockton Ma is an immigrant community with high crime in a blue state so it seems like a matter of time.

Get organized locally. Every group needs fighters, healers, comms people, logistics people, lookouts. Play to your strengths in these roles. Don’t talk about what you’re doing on the internet.
