I’m all for reforming our current work system, but we need organized action. Can we make that happen here? Or is there a different community for that?

What I think should happen is that once it gets big enough, ‘Worker Memes’ should split into its own forum/mag so things are organized better.
I also disagree that 500 or so can’t do any action. They can still write to politicians, tell people about a big protest that is going to happen, or send money to striking workers, do coding if any are programmers, etc. It’s just a tiny amount of action, but if we’re connecting with other groups that can add up.
Thanks! You definitely have some good ideas. Like you said, once it gets big enough we can think about splitting it, but we’re nowhere near that threshold - as a comparison, the reddit equivalent has hundreds of thousands of subscribers, and it’s being used for awareness posts/memes as well as advocacy (talking about strikes that are happening). I don’t know what a good threshold is, but we’re nowhere near large enough yet - we barely have 1 page of content, so there’s room for everything.
In the meantime, feel free to keep posting advocacy/action ideas!
