I’m really looking for what may have been the driving motivation and reward. The focus is on your personal drive for the interest and what you gained from it.
We can’t have meaningful conversations if people are scared to be honest, so please be authentic, forthcoming, and respectful. Conversely, please respond to others with compassion so that users feel safe enough to be vulnerable.
Weed and Prince Buster. Haitain history radicalized me. Now I’m an Anarcho Syndicalist that is deep into mutual aid networks and community outreach in my neighborhood. Community organization is so important and rewarding in my life now.
Can you elaborate on this pls?
Haitian history is so interesting. They have been punished for being the first successful slave revolt. Have you seen the movie Burn!? If not, I highly recommend it. It can be an upsetting movie, I think it’s essential for anyone that wants to understand the transition from slave to capitalist economies and how racism is ingrained in all of it.
Nice! 🏴🚩 I’ve been meaning to get back into volunteering locally. I appreciate the encouragement your comment gave me. If you don’t mind sharing, what communities are you working in and how did you get active in them?
This is a very public platform and you’re asking somewhat private questions. My humble suggestion is that you find causes that you care about, look up organisations that cater to those causes and reach out. For me it was joining up with the local Food Not Bombs. Usually there’s relevant flyers at the local vegan cafe, co-op, employee owned cafe, church foyer, or soup kitchen.
Good luck.
