      That’s because it depends on your area and your situation. You need to reach out to community members and see what your options are. If you don’t like the options that are there, work with people in your area to provide different options.

      This is some reading that should get you started.

          You have to build community. I can’t build it for you and if it doesn’t exist, it can’t help you. Even without trying to get people to work with you or listen to you about mutual aid, befriend them and talk to them generally.

          It’s not easy, but self-direction is never easy. It will always be simpler to keep your job and get taken advantage of, but if you’re sick of it, you have to do the hard thing.

          I really think you should read the link I posted. Let me know what you think after reading it and I’m happy to talk about this further.
