How to get involved in activist organization and be a good volunteer - Business Insider

the police brutality and racial profiling that has led to the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and innumerable other black Americans. As protesters flock to vigils and marches, many are trying to find ways to become more actively involved in political movements, and work to make real change.The day after Donald Trump was elected president in 2016, Aaron Taube knew that he wanted and needed to be involved in activism.

Taube signed up for several local groups in his neighborhood in Queens, New York. But after going to a few meetings, he was struggling to find a place that felt right. He heard about the Democratic Socialists of America through friends on Twitter, and the group piqued his interest. At the DSA, Taube said, there are small factions called "working groups" that connect members who are called to certain issues — everything from housing, racial justice, eco-socialism, debt and finance to anti-war advocacy.

During Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's campaign for Congress in 2018, Taube was one of several DSA members who helped run the then-candidate's canvassing and door knocking operations. "If you're someone who has only three hours a week that you can spend phone banking, or going to a COVID-19 response strategy meeting, or be in the streets protesting, that's great," Taube said. "If you're just getting your feet wet, it's great to spend a little time doing everything.

"When people first get involved in any sort of political engagement, I would encourage them to find an organization that fits with them, and commit to being in that organization, rather supporting a solitary campaign," Taube said.

The title should be: “How to become like the country you left for America, supposedly for a better future and politicize every sphere of your life, including the private sector.”
