4. These will be useful if we enter a Depression

All due respect, at this point the interests of the people at the rallies aren't really, um....Mutual Aid groups, Free Auto repair clinics, Community Gardening or Bake Sales

They're great links though. Especially the tenant/rent strike organizing

Thanks for posting

The point is, they could be.

People want to Do Something. They want to be useful. For many, simply calling their reps once a day doesn't feel like enough. The election is a long way off. Organizing around a simple item is a great antidote to despair, helps strengthen communities, and gets others involved. This document can be an entry point.

I'm sure many people at the rallies donate to charities, volunteer at food banks etc, but yes, making the leap from a rally to political power is something else entirely. The document is indeed a great entry point.
