Fandom Trumps Hate

As part of our new meatspace activism project, we are launching an ongoing series of AMAs* with activists and organizers, in which they will talk about how they got started on the work they're doing, what their day-to-day struggles and successes are like, and things that we can do to participate in and support the kinds of world-changing work that they are doing.

As a pilot for this series, we are hosting an AMA with ourselves -- (some of) the FTH auction organizers -- TONIGHT at 9pm ET/6pm PT. This conversation will take place on the new FTHA discord server, and everybody is welcome! We'll be talking about FTH came to be (and made it through the growing pains of graduating from a one-time blitz event to an ongoing annual project), the larger goals and principles that organize what we do and how we do it, and how those goals shape the nitty-gritty organizational dimensions (of which there are... many) that go into an operation of this size and scale.

You can bring your questions with you, or you can leave them as comments on this post.

This is, as noted, a kind of a test drive: the long-term plan is to bring in full-time organizers and activists, particularly those from FTH-supported organizations. Our first of these will be next week (!) when we'll be talking to Kat Calvin of Spread the Vote, which was a FTH-supported organization in both 2022 and 2024. Kat will be talking to us both about StV and about its new sister organization Project ID. That AMA will also be on Tuesday at 9pm ET/6pm PT.

To reiterate:
what: AMA with FTH organizers
when: Tuesday, Feb 4th (TONIGHT!) 9pm ET/6pm PT
where: FTH Action discord server


We hope to see you there!
