If You Live In The San Francsico Bay Area....

If you want to meet fellow fans who are fighting Trump? Or just want to meet fellow fans to work on self-care and fandom love?  If you want to build up your local personal contacts?  Drop me a PM or leave a comment at my blog.

Feel free to reblog, tweet etc.

edited: In a conservative city/state area? Feeling lonely and isolated and disempowered?  If  you were around for slash fandom in the 1970s-1990s, just remember how hard it was to find a fellow slash fan. But we managed. 

Here is a step by step guide on how to connect with other people - locally - to fight Trump. It only requires

1. 10 people from your local congress district (it can be less)
2. 2-3 hours a month
3. Two organizers
4. Access to an email list/group communication methods and a willingness to tweet/fb/blog about your activities,
5. Remember - you don;t have to fight everything. Just pick 3-4 key issues your group think are important.

The same tools can be used to create a local fan group for self-care and fandom love. Finding local fans will be crucial over the next years because local fans = people who can make a real, practical difference in your daily life (ex: Job networking, housing networking etc)

I wish I were close enough. I feel adrift down here smack in the middle of a red county.

Try reaching out. You are not alone

Eh, I know a couple of anti-Trump people, but it's a drop in the bucket around here. And I'm no organizer, I can barely organize my own life. I can throw money around, that's about it. It'll have to be good enough.

"My blog" is a link to this post; probably unnecessary? PM left.
