PauseAI Local Communities
I spoke with a couple of people who worked on growing movements and I was told how important it is to turn an international movement into local ones. When people meet locally, and they can talk to each other in real life, have a beer, they can bond. This is a great way to get people to get their friends to join, too, which grows the movement organically. Having local chapters also helps to give people a sense of ownership, as they can organize their own events and use their own communication channels.
