Hi, Jeannie! I wanted to echo Manton that you don't need to be a developer but having a co-organizer definitely helps. It's all about getting together to learn and help each other; don't have to be an expert!
You might reach out to @jonathanprozzi on Twitter who used to co-organize Baltimore.

Tantek asked me to prepare a music playlist for the morning of IndieWeb Summit 2019. Reply here if you have any suggestions and I'll consider it (but no guarantees)!
Thorne Melcher on twitter.com:Remember that time when Ben Shapiro went on a serious British conservative show, and he got angry with the host and stormed out when the host pushed back against his ideas?
Good times.
Yes. It was a ray of sunshine in dark times.
Nico del Castillo on twitter.com:Americans: Do you really not know the difference between Britain and England?
Britain is great. England is just okay.

The United States is operating concentration camps.
No, that is not hyperbole. No, that does not water down the term. I recommend this article about the history of concentration camps: https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2019/06/21/some-suburb-of-hell-americas-new-concentration-camp-system/
I have been really disheartened this week. I am trying not to get bogged down, though, and to do something productive to help. Here are some ideas:
- Call your representatives. @resistbot on Twitter makes it easy to call or send letters.
- Donate to RAICES, a non-profit offering legal services focusing on under-served immigrant children, families, and refugees. Any amount helps! Search Twitter for “RAICES match” and see if anyone is matching donations. Here is one person I saw doing that today: https://twitter.com/waltshaub/status/1142463637426253824
- If you are near one of the camps, join a protest on July 12
- Take action against ICE profiteers July 8-12th
- Spread the word. Share other ideas and resources!

Kevin Marks on twitter.com:https://indiewebify.me/ has a "send mentions" ui too (scroll down a bit)
Though YMMV with that - people have run into some 500 errors. I think we are moving away from that on indiewebify.me in favor of using Telegraph (and maybe webmention.app, too!)
