I feel like especially now, at least in America, the only real change anyone can do is local. What’s the best ways to get involved in a local manner? DSA? What even is “community organizing”? Like I wanna get involved and start making change and impacting community but in my head it’s seems as daunting as impacting the system.

Does anyone have solid advice to get involved in actual meaningful change on a local level? If nothing else just to feel a semblance of autonomy.

Update: I have RSVP'd for one of the DSA 101 Meetings in NYC in December so I'll be going to that. I'm going alone so I'm hoping people there are nice and welcoming! Anyways thank you for the advice!
