It feels like I’m constantly hearing about prostests only after they happen. Is there a way I can leanr about these sooner that doesn’t require talking to people irl before I am already involved. Like can I just show up?

I am very neurodivergent to be clear. These things are hard for me.

How do I even get involved locally? I am part of CPUSA but I’ve never ventered beyond the online space. Is there a way to keep up with whats going on locally without having to meet people irl regularly?

    I figured this was the primary issue but was hoping I could find an alternative withour betraying my principles

      Unfortunately a lot of organising goes via social media because it’s the easiest way to reach many people. This is why I have anonymous accounts on twitter and instagram that I use solely to be up to date on local organisations. Having a friend who keeps tabs on social media could help you keep up to date as well

      Can’t you go to a party meeting and get on the email list? The cpusa doesn’t do much, the PSL or DSA or RCA might be with looking into
