I've been following your work, and many of the great dissidents of this movement closely for some time now. I believe you and others are doing great things by drawing attention to the horrors that the common people of the world are facing, however, I (like many others) feel powerless to affecting any real change to the trajectory of our societies, governments, and more.

I would love for you to offer your insights, potentially in a post or directing me to other's posts, about methods of organization that we can pursue to have larger impacts. I feel like the movement is scattered and lacking the tools to organize more effectively. While we have thriving social media communities, substack channels, and growing awareness/support in limited circles, I feel like we are constrained to just identifying the problems, understanding the severity of the implications, and critiquing. There are plenty of our substack authors calling for dissidence and offering compelling insights and analysis for why, but few that offer solutions and guidance for creating networks, action groups, etc. to make our collective voice unignorable and uncensorable.

I am about to graduate from college and have felt so isolated these past years from my peers, family, and friends. I find solace knowing that there is a community here that shares similar values and worldviews about the insanity that is creeping across every facet of life. I don't want to just comment my support on posts, lament about the sadness of it all, and have nowhere to focus my energy and skillset. I'm young, full of energy and passion, and thirst to get involved in this movement but don't know where to begin!

I know you are a busy person, hope you get a chance to read this!

Sending peace, love, and inspiration your way
