Stop asking what to do as an individual. Instead, pick what to do. Immerse yourself in information and resources that teach you how to do that task. You can ask for them. We have some basic guides. Pick a role and do the work getting organized. We can do anything. We just have to do it. Do what you are good at and revolutionize a new role. Form your own RUST. Create tools and infrastructure for people and build a team because you cant do all of this by yourself. Be the change for your community.

Possible volunteer roles people do for RUST: scout, scanner, live streamer, amplifier. You dont need my or other activists blessings to do this. You can just do these things. Collect data on what you do and with practice you'll become an expert on how to do that role in that community

"“Goldwater in 1964” bumper stickers were soon met with mocking counter-stickers: “Goldwater in 1864.” The Goldwater slogan “In your heart you know he’s right” would be parodied by the Johnson campaign as “In your guts, you know he’s nuts.” The only international support he got came from apartheid South Africa, Spanish monarchists, and German neofascists."

"How could the United States elect a paranoid and vulgar man who trafficked in racial division, and who made criminal behavior standard operating procedure in the White House? Well, it elected Nixon. How could it elect an intellectually shallow entertainer, who was seemingly incapable of speaking truthfully on a consistent basis? Well, it elected Reagan. And as powerful as the right grew, its entrepreneurs in media and politics stoked culture war divisions to cultivate a powerful sense of grievance. "

The father of the modern American far-right only got international support by apartheid South Africa, spanish fascists and German neofascists. Let that sink in.

#Nationwide Fun RUST Fact: RUST's create an archive of data that historians can use to help analyze and document events. You can be more than just an intel and communications source but also be a part of telling your communities story by forming your own remote uprising support teams.

From abusers, clout chasers, careerists, and grifters to people getting thrust into a dangerous visibility, dehumanized, and overworked, the role of 'organizer' is detrimental both to the people who claim it/it's thrust upon as well as the movement for liberation as a whole.

Freedom doesn't need organizers, it needs everyone to take an active role in the fight and to refuse to put eachother on dehumanizing pedestals in the process.

We can't wait for others to fight for our freedom. As always, the secret is to begin.
