I have designed and printed a flyer and will be canvassing my neighbors in the next few days to garner interest in forming a Co-op and Mutual Aid Society. This is _way_ out of my comfort zone but I'm determined to channel my anger into something good.

You can do it. It's a great idea and honestly mandatory for survival right now.

Make sure you check in with other orgs doing similar work where you live so you can cross-collaborate.

We now have to figure out creative ways to fight back - I thought I had the dems to help me/us - I was so wrong - now I will fight to remove Durbin from the State of Illinois - my home all my life - the respect I had for him was lost in 15 min. - now a complete traitor - just leave Illinois - OMFG!
