Dear friends,
I suck at networking -because Im a laboratory scientist who mostly keeps to himself- and need some advice on two fronts:
1. How do I get more involved in local political activism? As in, how do I meet people and remain in contact with them?

2. I ultimately want to leave the US to finish out my career and retire abroad, but have run into a dead end on the path I was pursuing, and need to find someone in Europe, preferably The Netherlands, to help me job-seek. Any advice?

@marq Pick one. The two are pretty much mutually exclusive unless you want to leave the US first and then become politically active.

@AlliFlowers I'll be active locally until I leave since there's an unknown time frame involved.

@marq I hate to suggest it, but local groups can best be found on Facebook. That’s how I joined our local Dems groups and #MomsDemand.
