You will learn how to identify real community infrastructure, evaluate legitimacy and operational safety, and plug in in a way that gets a response. This is about structure, not noise, and consistency, not perfection. In this video, you will learn: • How to find two to three legitimate local organizations where you live • Two simple searches that reveal real community infrastructure • How to check legitimacy and operational safety without overthinking • How to reach out in a way that actually gets a response • What to do if there is a real gap in your city • How to choose a lane you can realistically commit to for the next 30 days Stop doom scrolling. Start becoming infrastructure. There is a place for you in this work. ______________________________________________________________________________________ BOOK FOR A FREE STRATEGY CALL: https://calendly.com/ecmclaughlin/strategy-session SUBSCRIBE (and don't forget to hit the thumbs up and comment!): https://www.youtube.com/@RippleEffectInstitute READ MY ESSAYS ON POLITICS AND ACTIVISM ON SUBSTACK: https://newsletterwithecm.substack.com/ FOLLOW OUR SISTER CHANNEL ON POLITICS, LAW, AND BREAKING NEWS: https://www.youtube.com/@resistanceliveecm BUY MY BOOK: https://amzn.to/3jM8SMF JOIN OUR MAILING LIST to get updates: https://gaialeadershipproject.com/ LET'S CONNECT ON SOCIAL: BLUESKY: https://bsky.app/profile/ecmclaughlin.bsky.social INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/ecmclaughlin/ MEDIA and SPONSORSHIP INQUIRIES: https://gaialeadershipproject.com/contact https://youtu.be/mPRV0z57PrE *Disclaimer: Some links are affiliate.
