Nothing will radicalize you more than getting involved with your community and learning that the churches don’t do anything of value to help financially insecure/unhoused people (hexbear.net)

churches fed my family when we couldn't buy groceries and paid our rent when we were about to be kicked out. church i'm a part of now is one of a few in the area that actively feed and house people and have been involved in getting tenant unions set up.

never once did a megachurch do shit for me but take my parents money. in material terms, these are small churches that acted like community hubs where folks could do direct action and were our only options in the face of 0 safety nets.
