    I can’t speak for all of us but in my area there aren’t any of those in my area. There are 4 community outreach groups in my area, two of them are churches and the other two are “non-denominational” shelters that are run out of churches. Try as I might, I’ve never found a worker’s party, I don’t think those are a thing here in the us. Outside of that, there’s a ton of volunteer options in my area if I want to help the homeless, stray cats, even the elderly. I love those, they’re great work, they don’t fix this.

    I already do what I can for local politics, it isn’t making a difference, but maybe in 10 years we can get a mayor that isn’t going to raise tax on poor neighborhoods. I do wish I’d gotten into this 20 years ago, it’s on me and those like me for letting it get this bad, but guilt is about as useful as the few things I can volunteer for.
