The first #SolarpunkActionWeek is over, but that doesn't mean you have to stop working for a better world! To keep the momentum going, always remember the 3 O's of successful activism: Organize, Organize, and Organize. Here are some things you can do now:

If you have a boss, you need a labor union. If you have a landlord, you need a tenant's union. And if you have debt, guess what, you need a debtor's union (http://debtcollective.org). #SunbeamWiki has a whole page on how to unionize, as well as a list of groups to contact for help: https://wiki.sunbeam.city/doku.php?id=workers_unions_direct_action

Visit your closest #FoodNotBombs meal. Ask how you can help and what other local groups need help. They'll be happy to have you!

The #EarthStrike is looking for organizers and agitators across the world. Email the national committee for your area if you want to help https://www.earth-strike.com/

And check out this page for other groups you can join: https://wiki.sunbeam.city/doku.php?id=organisations

See you all in ~6 months!

If you send armed forces to an area where fires are burning for the profit of your buddies .. I tell you they won't fight fire, but firefighters and civilians .. #amazon

(And just so we're clear, when I talk about diseased and sickly branches, yes I am talking about trimming away things like capitalism, white supremacy, and colonialist thinking. Those particular branches are not even good enough for composting, and should be burned to prevent the infection from spreading.)

While a lot of people like to talk about revolutions, I'm not convinced that's the right path. Historically, revolutions seem to have just done a good job of moving everyone from one difficult situation into another difficult situation with someone else's ideas at work. There are doubtless exceptions, but there's a big chance of it all going wrong.

My own opinion is that a eutopia needs to be grown like a garden. Carefully and lovingly sculpted, trimming away any diseased or sickly branches, until only the good ones remain. The ones where the sweetest apples grow.

Of course, this would take time. But no garden will grow overnight. And without proper care, even the most verdant garden can fall into decay.

Solarpunks cherish nature, progress and science; the individual and the community. They believe in a world that is green, colourful, and bright. It can be described as a literary genre, an aesthetic, or a movement. The key points are: an emphasis on renewable energy, especially solar power; a demand for technology and society to re-centre around sustainability, longevity, and balance; a focus on decentralisation, community activism, social justice and civic empowerment; a recognition that economic, social, and ecological injustices are all deeply inter-connected.
