Shit just got real (AA Group)

[calimary]

25. Welcome to DU, TranssexualKaren!

That's a great idea!

I did find that the Indivisible Guide includes a page on which you can click, fill in your zip code, and it will show you a list of groups near you (at whatever distance you specify - within 5 miles, to within 100 miles) that are active and sponsor events and marches.

I started scrounging around the local Democratic clubs near me and found several interesting ones. Went to one of their Facebook pages and sent a message. That got me into conversation with one of the club leaders who sent me this:

Vigilant Love is a good group that's been organizing a lot of the marches. Follow them on fb for now to keep track.

But this person also said he was in the midst of trying to keep track of these events, himself. He said he was going to start compiling a list - based on my suggestion!

Not to pat myself on the back here, but see what YOU can kickstart, on your own - by reaching out, connecting with some people, and getting an idea where to start sticking your toes into the water? I learned that this same group was having a casual get-together at a local restaurant later this week, and I was invited to attend. You should definitely start looking around! Here's a link to that specific "find a local group" page:

Lately, I've found that MANY groups are either gaining strength or at least getting started, and are EAGER for members! They'll welcome you with open arms if you decide to take a crack at it! And YOU might end up really making a difference for them. New blood, new ideas, new perspectives, new energy! The whole notion of activism just got a HUGE B-12 shot in the butt, and now, it's truly a happening thing!

We've needed this, rather desperately, for YEARS!!!
