I did a search for "activism 101" yesterday, and found an episode of the podcast While Black, recorded in 2019, interviewing an activist called City. City does activism in Atlanta, Georgia, with a current focus on police brutality. I listened to it today, and jotted down some notes when the interviewer asked for three things that someone who wants to get involved in activism should do (35-40 minutes into the podcast):#
Find what problem that you are going to be passionate about#
Half of the people only find problems that everyone is talking about, but are not passionate about it #
Find your organization that is already working on that problem #
You don't have to join them, but you can work along side them#
Put yourself in a position where economically your problem can be fixed #
