I'll be setting up weekly or near weekly and hope to find a few local folks to build the project along with a small experiment I'm hoping to organize with my local library. The SEMO DSA is also looking to work with some folks in the town 20 minutes north of me to set-up a mutual aid distro there as well.
I'm not sure how many local folks I'll find to join a specifically anarchist collective but I'm going to try. My conversation yesterday with F&R (the above mentioned couple) would lead me to believe that the deep, generational poverty of this region has created a working class that is indeed anti-capitalist. They're not blind to the extreme wealth and they know they live under the boot of that wealth. Mid-way through our conversation this couple offered to bring me supplies they don't need. They are eager to help.
We can organize in rural areas.We can find partners. We just have to get out there and try.
