IDEAS FOR WHAT TO DO BEYOND STREET PROTESTS

@YakyuNightOwl no it’s not. these local organizations are underfunded and severely ration their services. we do not waste our precious and dwindling resources on nonprofit organizations that exist to sustain the need for their organization’s existence.
if these orgs are really interested in contributing, then they will work with us - not the other way around.
we give them what we have so they can turn their backs on our neighbors and cry “but we’re underfunded” - and we are left with nothing to defend them with ourselves. there is never enough funding for these bottomless money pits, and they will ALWAYS choose to give in to the demands of their philanthropic donors. never ours, despite any individual’s “good intentions.”

@vervain
and then whatdid it lead to action? did it build a community? a network of any kind?
a training call 6 months ago does nothing if it doesn’t lead to coordinated action
that is why i (a veteran) do not work with VFP. they are a resource pit.
this is not to say that the training call is useless. but VFP is notorious for wasting resources on marketing campaigns disguised as activism. your training call has to lead to a coordinated effort, a community network that shares skills and resources to challenge the status quo, otherwise it is marketing and nothing more. they do those training calls so people will give them more money and prestige without posing a legit thread to the status quo.

what could we do with $743,000? VFP isn’t really doing much with this obscene amount of money.
nonprofits use these funds to perpetuate themselves. they cannot make meaningful progress without risking loss of their funding sources.
how much does it really cost to organize counter-recruitment efforts that really only need solid community networks to function?
counter-recruitment needs community solidarity in order to be effective and that is basically free. it also requires building networks for resisting social atomization, alienation, poverty, exclusion - any counter recruitment effort must take action to meet the needs intentionally left unmet by capitalism so as to make enlistment attractive. people enlist because they lack opportunity, belonging, purpose, hope for the future. what could we do with $743,000 that VFP has failed to accomplish for decades?

Thank you for taking your time to point this out. The people I've met locally are doing some good work, including building local relationships. But you're right about the money, and I didn't even give that a thought.

few people consider this fact, and few recipients of so-called “mutual aid” are prepared for the day they receive a form 1099 in the mail or worse, a letter notifying them that they’re being audited. when you get audited, the onus is on you to prove your innocence. the IRS has plainly admitted on multiple occasions that their “limited resources” prevent them from going after wealthy tax cheats who can afford to defend themselves, so they “stretch” their budget and pump up their numbers by going after working class poor people who cannot defend themselves.
crowdfunding survival needs is not mutual aid. it is definitively NOT. mutual aid builds interdependence. crowdfunding only continues to feed the system without posing a threat to it. and as our individual financial resources continue to dwindle, people will not make their fundraising goals. and they will be in deep trouble and they will not have the benefit of a mutual aid community to act as a safety net.
