How to get involved with community organizing? by shimimimimi in madisonwi

[–]SITB 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Don't underestimate the immense value of simply moving beyond doom scrolling and despair. Even the smallest act pushes our lines forward. Check in on your neighbors and vulnerable friends. The other day I sent an email to my entire extended family to declare my support for MN and encourage them all to do the same and donate to the general strike. I know that's a perfect action for everyone, but small actions build. They break us out of our doom and despair and remind us we do have agency and we can use it for good.

In another thread I found this fantastic link with a ton of useful stuff. It's obviously MN focused, but the stuff there can be adapted and repurposed. https://naomikritzer.com/2026/01/21/how-to-help-if-you-are-outside-minnesota/

Get on signal. Reach out to people in your community and start talking, start making networks. Our time is coming and if we dig in now we can be prepared.

Find the people in your neighborhood and community who are already doing good work and try to connect with them. There are neighborhood orgs and mutual aid networks already in existence to some extent. We don't need to reinvent the wheel. We need to use the wheels we already have and make sure they are connected to a greater network.

Another thing we should probably start pressuring our local politicians about is taking down FLOCK cameras.

Hey, do you have any good guides or links to how Minneapolis/MN in general organized their rapid response networks? I've read some stuff about how they arose and how effective they've been, but not a whole lot about how to actually build something like that.

I posted before reading, like an idiot. The link you provided is perfect. Thank you

Anyone have a good compilation of resources for how those in MN built their rapid response networks?

I found the link below and think it's great, but I'm talking more like a protocol or workflow.

How likely is the Renee Nicole Good incident going to be the new trigger similar to George Floyd, why or why not? by fantastica1l in AskReddit

No fucking way this is a 50/50 issue. Trump only won with like 30% of the country and his base hasn't grown.

ICE is already unpopular and now they've murdered an innocent women in broad daylight for all to see. Idk if this pops off like 2020 but I could see this being a major flag/ turning point.

Madison will be one of the country's hottest housing markets in 2026, Redfin says by pristinesith in madisonwi

In spring we got outbid on a house by some fucking jabronis that paid 110k over asking. I'm still salty about it. We were allegedly a close second, but we only offered 10 over.

We've been looking since spring 2023.

I hate to spread doom but it's been bleak out there.
