Connection for Action
-
Join our social network!
Currently hosted on Slack, gain access to a user-centric experience that prioritizes real-world change over clickbait:
Access an interface designed for coordination and action; both group channels and direct messaging; spaces centered around issue areas and offers.
We also plan on integrating new applications and technologies to strengthen our network in the coming months.
-
Connect with like-minded activists both locally and abroad. Navigate the platform to find organizations and community leaders that interest you. Connect and join their networks!
If you don’t find a group aligned with your interests, make one! There are no restrictions on how to enact change for the better without our community.
-
Act!
Support a protest or boycott, organize a block party or neighborhood concert, facilitate disaster relief, simplify access to mental health resources, ease environmental stress, or help provide access to food, work, and housing are just a few of the endless possibilities.
Let’s use the power of the internet to revolutionize social networking, creating a space for authenticity and community organization!
