The Story
Why Find Your Fight exists
This started as a portfolio project: a way to learn web frameworks and to prove I could build and ship something real, end to end. Somewhere along the way, it became something I actually cared about.
I found my fight.
Shortly after the 2025 inauguration, my brain went into a kind of panic mode: mind racing, catastrophizing and completely unable to shake it. I think a lot of people felt some version of that, even if less intensely.
What pulled me out of that wasn't fixing everything. It was showing up to one weekly protest, then another, and realizing I wasn't the only person who felt this way. Being around other people doing something, even something small, changed things for me more than any amount of reading the news did. Somewhere in that, this project stopped being just a way to practice full-stack development and turned into something I wanted to exist: a way to hand someone else that same first push. You don't have to fix everything. Pick one issue, do one concrete thing about it, and let yourself off the hook for the rest, at least for now.
What you're looking at right now is a working demonstration of the idea, not a live community yet. The events, actions and articles here aren't real. Articles and actions need real writing or curating and editorial judgment, both of which take time to get right. Events can be sourced but need ongoing upkeep to stay current — another time-consuming endeavor. And it's not just content: plenty of the day-to-day experience still needs work before this could hold up as something people actually rely on. I'm holding off on all of that until I know the idea is worth it.
So, I'm using this demo to find out whether the idea is worth turning into the real thing. The people best positioned to answer that are the organizers and community leaders already doing this work locally, not me. If that's you, or you know who is, I'd like to hear from you: email me and tell me what you think.
