Hi Deyis. I read your comment and wanted to leave my own. In brief, I thought the exact same thing and was disappointed. I’ve spent the last few months asking around, basically trying to find resources to help me turn my aspirations into advocacy work. I can not find anything. I have a tiny substack where I write about things, I volunteer a little in my community, all aligned to try to keep people thinking about topics important to me. Yet, nothing to actually help me train, network, and do more important organizing.
If I find anything, I’ll ping you. I’m going to reach out to a few old friends who were union organizers but got burned out by the contemporary political union movement being “the man” now.
You might actually find The Ralph Nader Radio Hour helpful to some extent. There’s thinkers, writers, organizers he talks to that speak to this sometimes.
