I think perhaps the hardest part of this is going to be finding the initial sources of funding.

I suspect that many of the people who would be interested in something like this aren't in very stable financial situations.
I think that asking for volunteers to help set everything up and to act as the first members is the only way to go, but there has to be very explicit rules in place so everyone understands the expectations, this isn't going to be any good if we have to exploit people to make it work.

@kavbojka in the US the two terms are splitting. liberal is the main Democratic Party, which has decided that neoliberal fascism is ok as long as gay people are allowed in and the racism is slightly less overt than the current US administration, but anything better than that is too much.

Progressives are generally for things like defunding police, abolishing student debt, nationalised healthcare, decriminalising drug addiction and making rich people actually pay taxes, which the liberals, or at least the ones represented by the Democratic Party, generally consider dangerously radical ideas.

Things are changing quickly, but that is the general split.
