    The election will pan out how it’ll pan out. I’m voting for Biden so I can give my friends the best chance we can get them.

    I am not just voting, though, and you shouldn’t stop at voting either.

    Start working towards unionizing your workplace if you can. Join the IWW for training and networking (literally any worker can join).

    Join and support any kind of solidarity network in your town you can (tenant unions, volunteer security details, food distributors, etc.) Hell, start one with your friends if there isn’t one.

    Participate in protests and public shows of solidarity. Don’t back down.

    Help the homeless. They’ve completely lost their voices and are constantly under attack by NIMBYs and cops, and it’s likely that many people you know right now will be in their position in the future, especially if Trump’s Elected.

    Right now, ‘the revolution’ would never come. US citizens are atomized and divided, by highways, suburban sprawl, parking lots, hostile architecture, and the constant crushing weight of capitalist responsibilities. We’ve got to rebuilt the networks of solidarity we had during the union wars. That’s the best way forward to a better US. Unionize, uplift your fellow workers, and keep pushing against the oppressors.
