Hey folks—
I’ve been sitting on these for a while because I didn’t want to put out another “content” thing that just tells you to stay hopeful and drink water.
So I built something meant for the moment when you’re staring at your group chat like: okay… what’s the next move?
The first three installments of The Community Organizer’s Toolkit are officially out now. They’re practical, meant to be used, and written for real life (messy schedules, low energy weeks, police presence, burnout, all of it).
#1 — Raising a Fist With a Rubber Chicken In It
A guide to tactical frivolity: how humor and spectacle can break the script, pull people in, and make power look stupid (without putting your folks in unnecessary danger).
➡️ Grab #1 here
#2 — Mutual Aid, But Make It Fun: Community Care Through Play
Mutual aid, but with an emphasis on sustainability and actually getting people to show up. Less guilt. More structure. More “how do we keep this going?”
➡️ Grab #2 here
#3 — Sign Warfare 101
Not a book about being clever. A book about being effective. Messaging that lands on the street, on camera, and in the minds of the people you’re trying to reach.
➡️ Grab #3 here
If you want all three at once, I also put together a bundle so you can grab the set in one shot:
➡️ Get the bundle
No hard sell. If you’re tapped out, I get it. If you’re in the middle of building something and you need tools that don’t waste your time, I made these for you.
In solidarity,

P.S. If you do pick one up, hit reply and tell me what you’re organizing around (or what’s been tripping your group up). I’m building the next installments based on what people actually run into, not what sounds good in theory.
