Community & Resistance in Florida
In a world increasingly shaped by far-right policies, corporate greed, and growing authoritarianism, it makes sense to feel afraid about what the future may hold. Building strong relationships with our friends, families, and neighbors provides a foundation for mutual aid and collective strength. It’s through these connections that we can counter the isolating and exploitative systems imposed by predatory capitalism. When we build communities, we aren’t just reacting to oppression; we are actively creating the world we wish to live in. Community-building undermines the atomization demanded by autocratic regimes. It is both a shield against harm and a seed for a better tomorrow. Community is resistance. We see the forms it takes in Florida and elsewhere.
