Looking for Local Folks/Groups

Hey folks!

Are there groups that are similarly minded that are Canadian grown?

I’m trying to build community in my very conservative area, and woof. I’m struggling. LOL

Thanks 💜

Look up local mutual aid groups like food not bombs, volunteer at your local food bank, join a Tesla Takedown or Elbows Up protest. You will find empathetic, like-minded people who want to make the world a better place.

Also, no offence, but it's kinda sus that you just joined Lemmy less than 24hrs ago and are immediately trying to identify groups involved in 50501.

Not necessarily ‘sus’ to show up here and looking for more local groups. One result of the 50501 and boycottUS and BuyCanadian movements was that a bunch of us are getting out of Reddit and other US social media platforms and come here 😉

Good point!

I admit that, but I’m not looking for any info that isn’t public.

I’m just looking for a place to even get started.

I don’t think any of those groups has any foothold around here. Stuff like that exist in small town eastern Ontario?

If I was looking for groups as a glowie, I probably wouldn't start with Lemmy.

Alright… where then? 😆

I don't have much resources for Canadians in my list except for boycotting. So, I don't know.

I appreciate the info! 💜
