Glad to hear it! If you want more detail, feel free to come by the Discord Server or send me a Direct Message. I run the welcome meetings for new members and am always happy to describe aspects of the org’s methodology that aren’t obvious from the outside and can also connect you with members who have done a lot more on-the-ground protesting and flyering than I have.
As someone who got into this without much prior experience in activism, I was surprised how much subtlety and counterintuitive best practices there are, most of which is learned through direct experience combined with direct mentorship, as opposed to written down & formalized. I made an attempt to synthesize many of the code ideas in this video—it’s from a year ago and looking over it there is quite a bit I would change (spend less time on some philosophical ideas, add more detail re specific methods), but it mostly holds up OK.
Excellent, thank you. That’s the sort of information I was looking for.
Hmm. Good point, I haven’t been taking that factor into account.
