how do I get involved locally (lemmy.ml)

It feels like I'm constantly hearing about prostests only after they happen. Is there a way I can leanr about these sooner that doesn't require talking to people irl before I am already involved. Like can I just show up?

I am very neurodivergent to be clear. These things are hard for me.

How do I even get involved locally? I am part of CPUSA but I've never ventered beyond the online space. Is there a way to keep up with whats going on locally without having to meet people irl regularly?

Once you get to a protest, find people that are actively doing things and ask them. They likely know or are the organizers. You will be able to get added to a means by which to hear about upcoming actions or have an opportunity to get directly involved.

If the main challenge is finding that first protest to go to, there is almost certainly one very soon, maybe even today, for Nakba Day.
