Victim Of Trauma Based Organizing Answers 3

 

What happened to you? I joined a group that started organizing around the killing of a local activist. I was not affiliated by membership with the organizers before this incident. The directions and rules appeared to just pop up by word of mouth and only vetted by the organizers. I learned that my short-term emotions were not a good place to start my organized problem solving.
What would you like to see happen? I’d like to see more and better pre-organizing before trauma becomes the basis for organizing to solve long term problems.
How do you think others can help? Join and organize groups without using trauma-based organizing to encourage victims and potential victims to take part.
