If you're in no orgs and don't know your local landscape very well, join the largest org in your area that you can stomach and use it to gain practical organizing skills and a network of people that know other organizers. Prepare to see people have terrible takes. Become comfortable with not reacting to them.

Use this opportunity to feel out whether there are other people in the org that are cool like you and what other orgs are out there. Once you have da skills, either start doing work primarily with the cool people or join a better org. In the former case, do your best to politically educate all of your comrades about your work - you don't need to make a clique, but you'll have a much better time with the org if people have your back during strategy meetings. If your org doesn't have strategy meetings that's a sign that it sucks and you'll either have to take it over for it to be useful or just bail to an org that does have them.
