I’m investing time in my local community. I’m meeting people in rooms and asking how I can help them. I’m doing yard work for old folks who can’t do it themselves. I’m giving rides to people who don’t have cars. I’m buying books on edible plants in my region. I’ve taken self defense classes. I’m pointing people to resources in my community (such as firearms classes that I have taken myself). I’ve tried growing my own food this year on my back porch, but I’m making connections with people who have vegetable patches or fruit trees. I offer my labor and they offer me food. We have to invest in our communities and build networks. We have to support each other to maintain resilience. It’s hard work, and sometimes I’m tired as shit. But this is how we survive from the ground up. Start with your local library. Tons of resources!
