Getting active in grim political times

[Scott Neigh]

Hello supporters of Talking Radical,

I know I sent something out just a couple of days ago, but I have a new article that I want to share. A lot of us, in this grim political moment, are feeling the need to *do* something...but for many of us, it's not at all clear what or how. So I talked to a bunch of activists and organizers from my city -- Hamilton, Ontario -- to get concrete, practical, local suggestions answering, "What can I do?" This will, I hope, be useful to other folks in Hamilton. But I hope it will also be of interest to people living elsewhere, partly as a sort of inspiration as you figure out the kinds of organizations, groups, projects, and campaigns you can either look for or start in your own community, but even more so because the answers include some sobering but important reflections on what it even means to be active in this moment.

As always, I encourage you when possible to engage with the original publication of the article at The Media Co-op. But, of course, Meta is still blocking accounts based in Canada from sharing news sources to Facebook and Instagram, and if you want to share it there, you can use the re-posted version on my personal site: https://scottneigh.ca/getting-active-in-grim-times-a-practical-guide-for-hamilton-and-beyond/

Thanks for reading,

       Scott 8)
