As an excellent example, the convergence of an XR chapter with a local squatters movement. The climate activists recognizing the synergy of place-based "generative refusal" (Leanne Simpson) with the squatters, and getting involved in place-based resistance and a strategic material intervention to change the system in that city. Same story with Atlanta and #StopCopCity ...
... whose work has resulted in hundreds of people — including the middle class people and workers, who seem so elusive to other climate movements — getting involved in mass protest and advocating abolitionist and ecological perspectives to local government. Example here, from a firefighter in Atlanta talking abolition perspectives to the government:

"If you listen to any of the #StopCopCity public comment, you can hear how deeply abolitionist frameworks have taken root––so many people, whether identifying as abolitionists or not, articulated a vision of safety dependent on resources and relationships, rather than policing." — @micahinatl

> it’s crucial to #SingToTheChoir... here are.. circumstances in which focusing on your choir is.. important..
> When they’re silent..
> When they’re busy looking at their phones..
> When they’re off-key or out of tempo. Every movement gets off-key from time to time.
> When they forget the lyrics.
> When they need practice. All choirs need to practice.
> When they’ve gone lackluster.
> When they think no one’s listening.

I'm curious to know if there's a reason that https://mobilizon.org/en/ is not a solution for social networking. It ostensibility is designed specifically for that sort of thing, but it doesn't seem to get much mention when talking about a tool for social movements and movement building.
Any insights or links thereto welcome.
