Ray Rogers on organizing against corporate power.
If you don’t have much money but you need to get the message out there, you have to set up a website. Start to develop an organization and a network. You need to be able to find and reach out to those who are sympathetic to your cause or to people who have similar sympathies. Take all of this information and start a database of contacts.
If you need money, reach out to foundations who are willing to back something meaningful and well organized, put together a plan and ask them for help. Coming from a spot where we have very little of it, I can tell you that getting your hands on money is time consuming.

An early step to a wirearchical approach.

Yes, and for purposes that are not just economic, but deeply political, in the best sense, of redressing power imbalances without asking permission first.
