We organize into local chapters because we believe one of the most valuable tasks we can do is rebuild the social network for the movement across the country. Forming local groups to regularly meet lays a foundation for strong communities who can then be motivated and equipped to reach out to their local communities and get stuff done.
As for online venues, we do have a Signal chat for free-software organizers across the United States to be able to talk to each other and share tips. If you need assistance, are looking to get connected with other organizers, or just want to follow along with the conversations, don’t be afraid to reach out to FT/Zach L (or any other member for that matter) to request an invite!

Starting a Chapter #
If you don’t see your state listed above, that’s fine! We’re looking to eventually build out a network of people across the country, so we’d still love to have you. If you’d like to begin the work of starting your own chapter, reach out to us and try to see if you can find at least 2-3 other people in your area who could help with “seeding” the early stages of your chapter.
