For those new to organizing (on the left), here's a good discussion of meetings - throwing Robert's Rules in the trash, having a timekeeper, estimating time on an agenda and other tips.

Hell, he no doubt used his experience in the US Army #CorpsOfEngineers to design that long wire #hamradio antenna that stayed up in that #Montclair, NJ backyard for 20+ years after we left. 😆
A true old school #raceman and #communityorganizer he was busy organizing employees and residents at Treyton Oak Towers almost to the end of his life. His was a life of servant leadership. Thank you Dad. I love you. I'm proud of you. 😢

May Day Strong was a huge success in Sandpoint Idaho! We had about 250 for our event tonight compared to 750 for the April 5 HandsOff! Event. Considering it was a weeknight it was about what I imagined as far as attendance. What are other organizers noticing? #maydaystrong #resistance #communityorganizer
A quotation from Bill Watterson
CALVIN: I’ve noticed that comic book superheroes usually fight evil maniacs with grandiose plans to destroy the world. Why don’t superheroes go after more subtle, realistic bad guys?
HOBBES: Yeah, the superhero could attend council meetings and write letters to the editor, and stuff.
CALVIN: Hmmm … I think I see the problem.
HOBBES: “Quick! To the Bat-Fax!”
Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
Calvin and Hobbes (1992-11-08)

The #PowerOfStories has never been lost on Alex Villafuerte. The stories he watched on television when he was younger, would help him connect to his #Filipino #culture . Later, negative rhetoric about COVID-19 would result in #ActsOfViolence & #hatred toward #Asian communities he belongs to. It’s this range of stories, their #influence, and how people respond to them that has shown up in his work as a long-time #CommunityOrganizer & #advocate .

I'm going to reintroduce myself since I'm on a new instance
I teach #philosophy at Lorain County Community College in Ohio, USA. That makes me a #philosopher, although I don't do much research.
I'm also a #CommunityOrganizer and #Activist with Showing Up for Racial Justice North East Ohio. I have a spouse and two teenaged kids.
I plan to frequently post about human rights abuses at the Cuyahoga County Jail, but I promise to always use content warnings.
So, #introductions.
I'm Hugh. I live in Jackson, MS, and yes, it's complicated. I'm a #CommunityOrganizer and #writer. I #blog and have #cats and a raging case of #ADHD.
When not fighting the man, I tend my #garden and build habitat for #wildlife in my backyard.
I read a lot of books, Like, a lot. No, more than that. I publish a newsletter each week about finding beauty in an ugly world.
And I'm a prisoner of hope.
It's been noted that I neglected to include hashtags in the original post, so here's a repost (with more detail):
A #Boston area organization working on #Housing and #ClimateJustice that a friend of mine have helped incubate and launch is seeking a contract #CommunityOrganizer who lives in the Boston area:

Hi kolektiva! I just migrated here from an old mastodon.social account, which I hadn't really been using. Am part of the big birdapp migration.
My #introduction, with an alarming number of hashtags for searchability.
I'm an #activist / #communityOrganizer in local politics, especially around topics of #antiracism & #acab & #trans rights.
Former software engineer, sidelined by lack of #disability access. I have chronic #migraine. I'm also #neurodivergent (#adhd, #actuallyAutistic).
I am obsessed with extinct #hominids (ok that one's never going to trend) and also primatology, especially #gorillas, #chimpanzees and #bonobos.
Releasing the Cluster API
Damn! This is a big freakin' deal! Because I'm running my own Nextcloud instance, and they added a Mapping app to the set of one-click installs, and #GraphHopper is one of the free #DrivingDirections services you can add to it, I'm in the #News loop about this.
