    Not to further shit on their good intentions, but this really pisses me off too:

    We have listed some tips for anyone who wants to start a hotline, neighborhood watch, or cash-assistance program in our organizing playbook.

    But if you actually intend on viewing that “organizing playbook” they have a mandatory form asking for:

    • First and last name
    • Mobile phone number
    • Opt-in for email and/or phone updates

    And requiring:

    • Email address
    • Zip code
    • Latino YES/NO?

    For someone interested in wanting to help, but not wanting to be consolidated into another helpful list of combatants or targets a subpoena away, this seems needlessly restrictive.

      The playbook is in the inbox of [email protected], feel free to login and download.

      Collecting your name, email, number, etc is how they build the network that has given them some successes so far. I get where you’re coming from, though.

      As long as you use an email that’s not tied to you and provide fake info, there’s no/minimal risk. Stupid as shit that we have to go to these lengths, but here wa are…
