Brief: Strategies for Building

After taking all the time to write Building Communities, and its 18,000 words, I feel like I should take a break, and write more easily. I did want to have all of that written in one place, where people could commence with plans from a common origin.

Coming to the end of the Complete Intro, I felt I had a more solid realization of how modern man appears, in relation to history, to have been to some extent severed from his world at the point of the local community. Our modern capacity to throw together town halls may have declined.

I think today we find ourselves in online communities that are particular to our personal kinds, and this is why online polling results are so different than offline. I could watch one of my favorite online news shows, and also find I am operating inside of a particular info-sphere.

I have to say on my own personal behalf that I am coming upon a season of much off-grid work, putting me into an equal problem of on-grid availability. With the current challenges, herein I'd like to give 3 ideas on building communities, for those who seek to end government wrongs.

I. Local Ads

There are endless online opportunities for people finding each other, and online is national. The question becomes, "what channels exist more locally?" I do think we often look nationally, and we can be belittled and ineffective this way. Across the country there is Craigslist, and there are local newspapers, and other want-ad types of local publications. Here is an idea for a posting.

We are a local, nonpartisan/universal community and a member of a national collective, and we are locally open to signing up adults who would say they have seen a variety of government injustices. For more information <call/write phone/email>

I would ask a person to imagine themselves seeing this if they were a reader, and asking themselves whether or not they would want to contact the person. I can imagine a person who has seen a variety of government atrocities having their own brand of interest.

I said "signing up adults", because prior to having a national assembly, I don't think there will be (much) national claims-based business. I think this is more-so a recruiting and local organization phase, until at least 3/4 of districts exist.

II. Alternative News

To place an ad like above, there is how prepared people are for new people. Once a community is brought into existence, members can reach out to alternative news to say that they would like to be reported on for what they're doing, and if the news needs further assistance, they can also read the Complete Intro.

I think it would be good to be prepared for this step, by having put some officers in place, or possibly even a committee of some kind, and to be able to film people in a room having a meeting.

III. A National Center

This site is online, and online is national. A national address is direct in every locale. A national center can keep a community register, which lists all the existing communities, I would guess best organized by state alphabetically. In addition, a community register could include contact information for persons who would like to meet people in their area to start their community. Anyone can go to a national community register, and find their local community.

Any community with a web address can function as a national center and point of contact. I think a community register could have mirrors, or communities that also maintain and publish it. Mirrors can protect against one site going down, for whatever reason.

To Sum

I do think there is a calling for a more quiet recruiting stage until many districts have come into existence, although in looking to that future, perhaps people can also enjoy making some claims, and perhaps business on a more local level can be initiated.

The three points above, when taken together, may provide a conspiring combination of contributors for growth. If everyone shares the brief definition and the community and members sections at the start of the Intro, then I think they may be able to remain on the same page, for when their districts meet in a national network.

Addendum

I have just been reminded of another area of resources, talking to someone who is a member of an existing community, in another capacity. I have to say that with common political background, an existing community could be a very strong support, combined with what's above.

Perhaps from a more national end, there could be approaches to larger organizations, who have some overlap.
