While the future, no matter who wins the upcoming election, doesn’t look rosy, at the same time there is still a lot of people who are looking for an anti-capitalist and anti-authoritarian alternative to the established political order and are searching for concrete ways to get involved in real life action.

In past installments of this column, we’ve fleshed out ideas about how to to go about forming a group and promoting events, but this time around, we wanted to talk about concrete ideas on starting more long-term projects in your community. While this list isn’t exhaustive, we do hope this presents you with some real ideas about how you might start to begin.

There's literally no mutual aid programs or group near where I live and I have like no family or friends out here in Huntsville, Alabama. Dunno what I'm supposed to do

Huntsville, Alabama.

Dunno if this Reddit thread is going to helpful to you

Besides that, maybe look into groups or activities that mainly organize online and more decentralized.

And while this extremely hard and something I probably would not be able to pull of: Start your own thing or group!

Already check that thread out. All those mutual aids are not active or won't respond when I sign up for them
