Exactly, and in my area the lack of outreach to activists who are already on the ground/have been doing this work for many years is making people very very suspicious

Yeah it’s bizarre. And the defensiveness on this sub isn’t helping at all.
I get that people want to do something. Indivisible has a massive call last night and was telling people to contact their representative and physically go to district offices. Me and a few friends are planning to go together for Gillibrand’s district office.
People have been doing this work. I wish people would take this enthusiasm and look for folks who maybe have expertise to share instead of trying to reinvent the wheel here.

Consider that being at the state capitol can influence state legislatures, and more than half our state legislatures are dominated by republicans.
