It’s ironic that you write this. I am an environmental person and have been putting those issues on the back burner. Not entirely, but we have bigger issues currently and they are also all connected. So I have shifted my energy to the most important ones. Thank you for writing this. I know you see the big picture clearly.
The distinction between mobilizing and organizing is crucial. I saw this play out in 2020 where massive mobilizations hapened but without sustained organizational infrastructure, the energy just dissapated. The potluck point is underrated too, breaking bread builds trust way faster than meetings alone. Collective power really does start with thatbasic human connection before moving into coordinated action.
So you may want to have a look at this (Im not one for posting youtube links on substack but Benn Jordan walking you through DIY tech for erm concerned citizens seems ok)
