There are definitely different options available that I need to consider. Many are similar to groups that I belonged to or worked with when I was Stateside: Indymedia (http://www.indymedia.org.uk/) or the Industrial Workers of the World (http://www.iww.org/), for instance. There is an Oxford IMC and a West Midlands IWW branch, both of which are quite accessible to me.
There are also local options that I have worked with since moving to Oxford, like the SPEAK (http://www.speakcampaigns.org/) demonstrations that I joined in shortly after arriving here. (http://anarchist-nomad.livejournal.com/75583.html)[*] There is also an Oxford group working in solidarity with the Palestinians -- another worthy cause. Again, getting involved would not be too difficult.
I take commitments quite seriously and would not just jump in feet first. So I need a bit of time to figure out the best ways to contribute and how much time I can spare. Then I start looking for the best options for involvement.
What is your own activism like these days? What are you working on?
[*] Those were fun, not least because of the court injunction preventing SPEAK people from talking to Oxford University employees. By law, then, I was unable to converse with myself...
