If you are interested in learning more about #CON please see this post.
Basically, CON (Circle of Noisemakers) has a view to become an unofficial, decentralized, international and local network of anarchists and voluntaryists supporting one another in a very practical and simple fashion.
The directory is located here on the Steem blockchain, but should also be written down in a personal notebook or saved to a PC, etc.
The purpose and application of the directory depends on you. That said, here are my visions for it:
Provide a viable, direct connection to other anarchists locally and around the world.
Facilitate mutual trade and support.
Faciliate aiding other voluntaryists in difficult times when they need help. (NOTE: This is not a charity initiative. When, who, and how to assist anyone else in the network is up to each individual’s discretion.) Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies now make coming to the aid of and trading with fellow voluntaryists easier than ever.
FACILITATE A MEANS TO MAKE NOISE! Did CPS stop at your house? Was a family member kidnapped by the cops for a non-violent “crime”? You can bring your stories to the network, and we will make a shit ton of noise for you. That is the idea. To make irritating noise about these things online, in person, and in the ear of the mainstream media.
Facilitate a means of instant connection. Many of us use Signal or Wickr Me encrypted messaging services for quick communication.
The possibilities really are endless. From finding a place to stay across the globe, organizing fundraisers, and lending your next-door-neighbor a lawnmower, to making incessant noise when a fellow voluntaryist is assaulted by the state, this network is a practical idea that belongs to you.
If Steemit.com went offline, would you be able to access your network of friends, peers, and colleagues here? Most couldn’t. That’s what this is all about.
As @mindszai has noted, once this gets big enough, the vision is to ultimately form local cooperatives! This would be the shit! Practical and right there. Real community.
Get your notebooks out! Here’s the directory:
(To join the group please add your listing in the comments below, sharing only as much information as you are comfortable with releasing here. Please view previous entries to see what types of information might be useful. THE AMOUNT OF TRUST OR LACK THEREOF YOU EXTEND TO ANY INDIVIDUAL ON THE DIRECTORY IS UP TO YOU! BE SMART. This post is not an affirmation of upstanding character of any of listed party, though a few of them, to me, are the salt of the earth!)
