Very excited to see how this major nation-wide community building push will turn out! As someone that has gotten involved with setting up several of these new local groups, it has been really motivating and encouraging to have this support network of other organizers starting groups around the same time. If you run into a problem, there’s a good chance others are struggling with the same issues and you can collaborate on solutions! In my experience this lowers the barrier for getting involved as an organizer quite considerably, and I’m predicting it will make it easier to find future organizers as well.
