I'm interested in getting involved with anarchistic and consensus-driven activism... But where the hell do I start?

There's a semi-local Food Not Bombs, but they aren't meeting at the moment (protesting I imagine).

Are there similar groups I could look for? Are there social media type places I should look? Any kind of newbie infoshops?

I'm shit at making just regular acquaintances, so finding a specific kind of group has been a headache.

Thanks in advance

Have you looked into mutual aid groups in your area? I found a group near me just from Facebook/Google, they mainly distribute food and camping supplies to homeless people or anyone else that needs it

I'll start looking around for those as well. Are there any you could suggest specifically? Or is it more of a local find-whats-there kind of thing?

Anarchism is nearly always extremely local by its nature.

Right, I meant more like Food Not Bombs is decentralized but there's a shared name. As opposed to groups more singular in name/goal/mission.

Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!

Rules:

Be respectful
Don't be a nazi
Argue about the point and not the person
This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.
