Good question! I think the most impactful step anyone can take is to join an existing local org that has good politics (i.e., a focus beyond reforming systems of oppression). Many community groups have been doing this work for a long time and understand what kind of tactics are most effective. Organizers are typically pretty passionate about political education and demystifying systems that are designed to be opaque and seem unnavigable. Here are a few orgs in L.A. that I would recommend joining:

Mutual Aid groups (this sign-up form includes a list of groups around the city) tinyurl.com/joinlasc

L.A. Tenants Union latenantsunion.org

Justice orgs like Justice L.A. justicelanow.org/join
