    They haven’t finished counting the votes yet. Unless you are somehow comparing to the exact point in the count 4 years ago, this type of analysis is very premature. Except even that would be a bad idea because covid made things weird in 2020.

    It’ll be a little while until we get a good handle on turnout. Until then don’t read too much into it.



  • The answer will depend on what orgs are in your local area. If you’re willing to share a general location and any specific interests I could do some digging.

    I don’t know anything about this site but I just found it by searching: https://www.mutualaidhub.org/

    Or if you’d rather search on your own, I’d look for things like [your city/region] mutual aid, resist, antifa (the last one going to be about more confrontational action so consider whether that’s your specific niche).

    Another approach is to just ask friends who seem politically connected if they’ve heard of any local orgs.

    Personally I would be wary of any highly top-down orgs that enforce a particular narrow ideology. Some of these can be a bit cult-like. Also get a feel for how people interact and leadership operates. Are people supportive and kind to one another or is there a lot of tension and fear? Personally I haven’t had any bad experiences yet but it’s something to be aware of if you don’t have the lay of the land in your local area.

    In most cities there will be a variety of groups with different approaches and focuses, so shop around a bit and find the one that is a good fit for you.
