2. Climate gets all activists down. What options do you have when Climate gets you down?
You may be able to choose to be either depressed or angry.
3. A friend asks to join Climate and asks for advice on how.
a. Send through the Vision and Core Values documents

https://actionnetwork.org/forms/gdpr-agreement-form/
This way they know the boundaries which enable them to work with others and fell safe. This will also bring them into the chat groups, eg slack.
b. Ask questions about their interests, goals and plans.
c. Or are they looking for a 'social method' of joining, eg doing some work to meet people and working their way from there.
4. Local autonomy versus xxxx led?
They pushed out some people to another place to remove an activists power. And the activist never objected, the activist was of the thinking. 'I could not see why we could not be on another side of the building or with a big city another location. I get it that some activists did not want me sitting on their knee, when you are 18 you are searching for a partner and means you do not want your parents hanging around. It was all fine with me. My goal is climate.'
Can one group push a person away from a location or a time and how shall this happen?
5. Public figure process and collectivism
A person choosing a path of building a brand. An activist said, 'I did it because it seemed ridiculous to make it so that there was only one or a few people were doing the personal public stuff and to not do it seemed silly.'.
There is a difference with a person who is truly trying to break the 'big time' with publicity and those that do it just because it feels like it is needed. The difference is hard to see but it is probably an important one, and it shows probably in how genuinely inclusive the activist is. eg. sex, race, age etc
The easiest way to see this may be to think in terms of:
Is this action 'in service of' the climate?
Is this action 'in service of' someone or something else?
6. What is activism?
It is standing up to the powerful in a public way.
7. Why are private issues, car, plastic and meat, closely associated individual 'needs' more likely to produce guilt and reduce the chances of individuals 'speaking truth to power'?
Maybe this approach works:
