"We need to talk seriously about general strikes, about breaking quorum, about exploiting parliamentary procedure to ensure that Republican legislation doesn't get through." (Kat Abughazaleh) (cdn.social.linux.pizza)

Ymmv, but FNB can cook too. What I've had from them is varied, healthy and tasty.

I can't confirm as the one I have experience with mostly just gave groceries, but that was crucial during the pandemic. They helped ease our financial stress at the time.

And one big thing you can do is if your city is having lots of protesting, being involved with fnb (even just someone they know can help when all hands are on deck) you can push for increasing meal frequency so that protesters (or strikers, or whomever else) can get a hot meal every night.

And if feeding people isn't the sort of activism that speaks to you they can probably help you find other forms of direct action whether it's protest groups, books to prisoners programs, or even groups that help fix up and sell cheap bicycles to the community. These are all ways you can help people and form community bonds.
