Find Existing Groups or Projects This can be tricky if you're totally new to this scene, and there's no one way to do this. The writers of this zine all got involved in completely different ways. One way to start can be by poking around in social spaces. Local radical, indie, and DIY spaces sometimes have fliers and zines that might tell you about upcoming events where you can meet people. Ask around and reach out. Learn to see things that aren't "leftist" as radical. There are powerful social spaces that aren't legible to the state—like auntie networks—that will always be the backbone of social life. Build relationships on the fringes!

An interesting point about this. A lot of ND people have trouble reaching out actively like this. Like, it goes against all our instincts to just join something new like this and a lot of coping mechanisms to be able to fight back against them. I feel groups need to have some way to do outreach in other contexts to attract people who might be open to such orgs.

Do you have any experiences which type of outreach worked for you personally?

You mean, how I've been approached before, or how I approached others?

If you mean the former, I never was.

In the latter case, I didn't manage to be in an org by the point I realize I might need to do this. Currently I'm trying to setup my own org and we'll see how it goes.
