Goggle Resist,& MoveOn, both have well-organized national prescences.
For example, the country-wide rallies against drump's '"emergency" held today across the country.
No reason to fragment, no reason to reinvent the wheel, just go to their easy to use massive websites, participate as you see fit.
Oh, and put your "representatives" contact info into your phone/device, make yourself heard quickly forever after.

I volunteer with the Red Cross. It’s not ecology-based but it helps alleviate human suffering.

That's fantastic? Why the red cross? And what do you do?
I’m in disaster services. I’ve been deployed to hurricanes and wildfire situations to help with shelters.
I see he Red Cross as the biggest private non religious disaster assistance provider.
I'm not sure but some of us are activists in various things worldwide.

What kind of activism draws your attention? Why? Where do you go to find out how you can participate?
I haven't heard of one. Have you scanned the list of groups? Maybe you can start one. You get extra points for starting a group.

I scanned/searched for one, but didn't see one. I just didn't know if I'd missed one. If everyone answers in the negative I'll start one.
@CommonHuman Just the environmental one that Shouldbefishing put a link to up there. What sort of things do you want to work on?
@Carin I was thinking less about specific goals and more about spreading the word of ways we can help. Just a way to say 'hey, this thing is happening, donate time/money/etc here'. Me personally, I'd like to one day create a website/database where all charities/safehouses/food pantries/places to crash/ etc can be easily found on one website, with directions to get there and what the rules of that place are. It's too difficult for people who need help to find the specific help they need. The rules of places homeless can crash for the night are crazy specific, to find all the rules takes a ridiculous amount of effort. Someday I'd like to do that. Until then, just a heads up of ways to help people would suffice.
@CommonHuman this is a great idea. I live in a small town, we have orgs to help people, but some of us live outside city proper, a might help carpool volunteers get together also!
@CommonHuman I'd say start the group. Just general info for opportunities instead of a specific issue sounds like a good idea.
