You can't. Organizationally the founding team of Indiana 50501 has made the decision to NOT organize traditionally:
Our thinking is simple: Each of these organization types place limits on our free speech and activities. And, if we are the resistance, which we are, we cannot accept these restrictions.
When the administration, nay, regime comes for us, they will do it one of two ways:
The administration will start action against us with lawyers. If we simply do not accept cash then we can't be in violation of tax laws (always remember that Al Capone went to jail for tax evasion not the dozens of other crimes he committed).
Our funding model is simple and community driven. We now have a group chat on our Signal called:
_WE NEED
This discussion forum can only be posted in by admins and, in it, you might see something like:
2 cases of water for the 4/8 protest
And, hopefully, someone in our community will step up and make that purchase and then get them to us.
And, before you ask about gift cards, no we aren't taking them:
So our funding model is simple:
I'm not into the protest scene. I can't march. But I still know that Trump is not right and I want to help. What can I do?
Welcome. We need you. Whether your march in the street and shout loudly, we need you. Here are some ways you can help:
In terms of crafting, we have the following tasks needed:
In terms of creative work, we need:
We believe that every American has skills that we need. Tell us what you are good at and we will figure out how it can be applied to us.
Volunteer efforts are coordinated by making a post in the Signal group chat:
_I ENLIST
Post who you are, what you like to do, your skills and what time you have available and someone will reach out to you.
If you have resources you want to make available to 50501 Indiana, add a description to:
_I HAVE
Example: You might have a Crickut machine which can be used for making buttons. One of the beautiful things about permaculture in a modern, wealthy democracy is that there are so many things out there that a resistance movement needs and that AREN'T BEING USED.
We are organizing Indiana 50501 at two levels:
Key qualities include:
Please see above. By definition city leaders have the same skills as district leaders but tend to be more junior.
There are a few things:
We have documents about this:
Use Spot Hero. Hat tip to Alice for finding this for us?
Oh dear heavens, the list is long. These are companies that we have personally researched and know to be bad actors:
Got something you want here? Our website is written in Markdown and managed using Github. If you want changes made then get a github account, do some learning / talk to us and I'll add you to the Git repo where our website is maintained. The things you learn about good and bad actors can be published here.
Since every change gets stored in what is called github -- a tool for literally tracking changes -- you can ALWAYS know what has changed by looking at what is called the "commit history". Every change is tracked atomically and each of those changes is called a commit. Commits can be viewed here.
Yes I get that that feature is a bit technical but learning this feature gives people access to the exact changes that were made and that way, the web people being busy and forgetting to write up a change log, won't be an issue.
