E: if someone could please link this community to r/aspen and r/roaringforkvalley I would greatly appreciate it. I’ve been IP banned by the all powerful AI mod monster, like many folks on Lemmy
Does “Aspen” in this com’s name refer to Aspen trees being connected at the root?
Aspen refers to the town of Aspen, CO, one of the richest towns on earth. I want to start a local organization with wider support to try and target the 1% and wealthier people in general, attempting to spread the message of the negative impact of billionaires on them and the rest of us. Hopefully so that we can have their support in capping the wealth of the richest 250 people in the world.
I hope this community more widely can serve as a place on lemmy to discuss wealth inequality in all ways, shapes, and forms!
You should definitely consider tapping into that symbolism then! I’ve always thought aspen leaves would be a great symbol for the American left
