It feels like in reality we do a lot of fantasizing about the left, and never actually go do the right.

Go meet your neighbors. Get linked in with your local ice watch, or food not bombs, or project to prevent cop training facilities or detention centers from being built

People with this platform's more technical background would be really valuable to some of those projects. Go get involved in something :)

Edit, more ideas: get involved with a community garden, see if you have a local tool library you can contribute to or volunteer with, start or get involved with a local repair cafe or meetup group (in my area they dont have a fixed location, so its more like a meetup)
