In summary, the conversation revolves around the individual's desire to contribute to the community, particularly in terms of promoting liberal ideas and improving public transportation in Georgia. However, they feel isolated and have few connections in these areas. The suggestion is made to reach out to like-minded people through groups or advertisements. A specific group, Citizens for Progressive Transit, is also mentioned as a potential starting point.

I want to start contributing to the community, butt I have very few friends and my relatives are completely isolated from this community. The few friends that I have are all into video games and not at all into anything resembling politics and/ or community service.

So how do I start from scratch and make a network of pplease to get the liberals around Atlanta organized or help do that, to get a decent railway/subway system for Georgia? There is a skeleton system of railtracks all over Georgia which would be very easy to turn into a modern and efficient public transport system. But no one has done anything about it since 1980 and many believe that the representatives here take too much lobbying money from car companies to actually do it.

The closest thing to a hope i have, is that one of my close friends has a liberal roomate with a few liberal friends. But other than that I feel like a man on an island in this bastion of Red States, Georgia. And btw, I am a sophomore in college.

The college I go to has no groups or anything for Green party pplease, socialists, or anything that interests me. So, I have no life, almost no friends, and very retarded social skills and I want to do something other than stare at a computer or t.v screen.Any ideas on how to do this?

If this is in the wrong section, feel free to move it, if this is way off topic to even be on this board feel free to delete it.

The problem is the counties in Georgia will not cooperate, that is why even much needed roads crossing county lines can't happen. It is totally ridiculous and something that has been addressed for ages.

I don't see how that would affect your social life, however.

Put out an ad in the newspaper looking to start a group of like-minded people. Get out and interact.

As a scientist, I have always been interested in understanding the dynamics of society and how individuals can make a positive impact in their communities. Growing up in a red state, I noticed a lack of representation and resources for marginalized groups. This inspired me to research the ways in which individuals can connect with community activists to bring about change in their local areas.

2. What are some challenges you faced while conducting this research?

One of the main challenges I faced was gaining access to community activists and organizations in red states. Oftentimes, these groups are not as well-publicized or easily accessible compared to those in more liberal areas. Therefore, it took a lot of networking and reaching out to various groups to gather information and insights for this research.

3. What are some key findings from your research on "Finding My Place in a Red State: Connecting with Community Activists"?

Through my research, I found that there is a strong sense of community and resilience among activists in red states. Despite facing challenges such as lack of resources and support, they are determined to create positive change and make their voices heard. Additionally, I found that building relationships and networking with other activists is crucial in order to effectively mobilize and bring about change.

4. How can individuals in red states get involved with community activists and make a difference?

There are various ways individuals can get involved and make a difference in their communities. One way is to research and connect with local community organizations and attend events or volunteer. Another way is to use social media and online platforms to raise awareness and support for causes and initiatives that align with their values and beliefs. Additionally, individuals can also reach out to their local representatives and advocate for issues that are important to them.

Connecting with community activists in red states can lead to a stronger sense of community and empowerment. By working together and supporting each other's causes, individuals can make a tangible impact and bring about positive change in their local areas. Additionally, networking with activists can also provide valuable learning opportunities and help individuals expand their perspectives and understanding of important issues.
