One big thing you can do to help build local resilience and promote an alternative economy is map your city's resources on Shareable
https://www.shareable.net/community-maps
You can put down pins for anything from coworking spaces, to community gardens, to little free libraries. And if your city is already mapped, contribute everything you know about that isn't already there and share the link among your friends!
@kaikatsu It uses google maps, which is a fuck, but it's still a super cool resource for finding mutual aid in your area
You can probably email them and suggest that they migrate to OSM. I know there's a tool for making custom maps with it, but I forget what it's called tbh
@socalledunitedstates @kaikatsu
There's Leaflet (https://leafletjs.com/) and Umap (https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/) There are probably others too.
@socalledunitedstates @kaikatsu
Just sent an email to tom@shareable.net suggesting they look into using OSM instead.
@socalledunitedstates might i suggest using open street maps too? We can't let Google own our land
@socalledunitedstates great stuff. Google needs to die
Found my city here!!! Yay!!! Will try to add as much as possible
@socalledunitedstates Is there any chance someone could explain how to actually add on the shareable map? My guess is I copy the existing map and I pin the new locations I have there and then I send it through the contact form or something?

Got an email back from Tom at Shareable. He said that there's information about how they're trying to transition over to OSM here: https://www.shareable.net/blog/the-complete-guide-to-hosting-a-mapjam-in-your-city
