The Activists’ Guide is a community-based online resource for activists.
Our mission is to facilitate collaboration and intersectionality between local activist groups and individuals. We provide a forum where activists can easily find the information they need. This website features expert advice on activists’ techniques, a directory of activist organizations, a listing of helpful suppliers and services pertinent to the needs of activists, an interactive calendar that functions in real-time and The Activists’ Shop (all proceeds go to The Activists’ Guide).
Community-run
and funded
The Activists’ Guide was started by a Central Virginia community member and long-time activist, Richard Lord, and has received help from numerous other community members since its inception. To keep Activists’ Guide alive, we depend on community input and donations.
