Item: in the 1950s research was starting to suggest smoking cigarettes might be bad for you, so one company beefed up their filter with asbestos
Studies show that approaching youth with a bystander-intervention model is actually a lot more effective for reducing sexual assault, and it is also more enthusiastically received than programs that bill themselves as anti-rape.
We can tell youth that they are basically “rapists waiting to happen” (anti-rape initiative), or we can tell them that we know they would intervene if they saw harm happening to someone and we want to help empower them to do that (bystander intervention). The kids jump in with both feet for the latter! It was amazing to see children (and young boys in particular) excited to do this work and engage their creativity with it. Also, studies show that not only do they go on to intervene, but they also do not go on to sexually assault people themselves. Bystander intervention also takes the onus off the person being targeted to deter rape and empowers the collective to do something about it. It answers the question in the room when giggling boys are carrying an unconscious young woman up the stairs at a house party, and people are not sure how to respond and are waiting for “someone” to say or do something.

This is also, btw, how the US drastically reduced drunk driving in the US. Telling people they shouldn’t drive when intoxicated made absolutely zero difference. A slogan-and-ad-campaign for “Friends don’t let friends drive drunk!” changed drinking culture. Going after the bystanders is quite often the most effective thing to do in any social change.

volunteering with Food Not Bombs is really good training wheels for getting into more explicitly political leftist organizations for three main reasons:
- it (or at least my local chapter) is mostly anarchist, which gives you firsthand experience with how ineffective "community organization" is at doing any kind of management more complex than "show up at this location at this recurring time"
- preps you for handling leftist infighting in-person, which is not really a skillset you develop on tumblr - when someone you cook with every week starts talking about how US military interventionism is sometimes a good thing when the country in question is run by "a dictator", you unfortunately can't just tell them to kill themselves and then block them
- gives you plenty of opportunities to learn to be wary of random people showing up and asking if you'd be interested in doing black bloc or direct action and giving you a protonmail address written on an index card
