Activism

ActivistResource.org is a great tool for finding out about activist events in your community, across New York State. They provide many listings in an interactive calender and many activist groups upload their events to it. New York Cowboy.org synchronizes to that list through their RSS feeds at night and puts them on our site for you to see.

We also have an essay called How to Become an Activist which teaches you how to become an activist, and another one called Activism vs. Politics which explores both concepts and how they are related.
