Now is the time to build and strengthen high-trust communities to help ensure that we can withstand anything that they throw at us in the years to come.

The Lockdown Era

The Lockdown Era that began in 2020 was one of the most damaging times in human history. The weight of the fear and uncertainty led many people into despair. Whether we are talking addiction, suicide, starvation in third world countries or the effects on children, so much harm was done to the world population. Many are still suffering from the fallout.

But many of us refused to cave in to the fear and took action. We were forced to find other like-minded people in a veritable ocean of masked faces and closed businesses. We had to figure out a way to exist when everything we took for granted was stripped away. For many of us, this was the most empowering time of our lives.

In 2020, I was living in Oregon, a state that imposed some of the most tyrannical lockdown measures in the world. It was frightening to see what was possible from a power-hungry state government, seething with a desire to thrust its will on the populace. But out of that, many of us found each other and we did some amazing things.

Strength In Numbers

When the Lockdowns began and I had a different view on the situation than most of the people in my life. I faced a lot of ostracism and criticism. I’m sure you can relate. Many of the people that I had been friends with for years, and considered family, turned their back on me and made it very clear that they thought I was a horrible person for my beliefs. Members of my actual family did the same. My first instinct was to find the people out there that felt the same way I did.

I heard about the Freedom Cell movement (FreedomCells.org) and attended a meetup in Portland, about two hours north of us. We were so inspired by that first meetup that myself and a couple of friends started our own Freedom Cell in Eugene. People came out of the woodwork and we started hosting gatherings, first in the park and then at a local coffee shop that stood up to the lockdown measures and remained open the entire time called Along Came Trudy in Springfield, Oregon. Big shoutout to Trudy and the team there.

As we continued to gather, host potlucks, conduct skill sharing clinics and more, we began building friendships and trust. I still hold onto many of those relationships to this day, despite having since moved to Nashville, TN. In the summer of 2020, we even put on an entire Freedom Festival outside of Portland called ManiFEST, complete with guest speakers (including Dr. Paul Thomas, filmmaker and activist Matt Landman [Frankenskies] and Medical Freedom Attorney Bob Sneed), live music and even the burning of an effigy of the Oregon State Governor at the time, Kate Brown. It was a blast.

Through all of this, we were not only fearless, but empowered, strengthened and confident that as a community, we could endure. Not only did we endure, but we thrived. Out of this, we began building a network, a parallel system/society that encouraged in-group preference when doing business, sharing each other’s work and accomplishments and helping each other in times of need. This marked a turning point for me and I realized that community was the answer.Now Is The Time

Unjected was born out of the need for people who were struggling with social shame and broken relationships to find each other. We are proud to know for a fact that many people have found love, friendships and community through our platform. We are now hearing of decentralized “Unjected Meetups” that are springing up around the world.

We want you all to gather in real life and find the joy that we have found when groups of like-minded people congregate together. You never know what will be born out of it! We want to provide you with the resources that you need to have successful in-person Unjected gatherings! Don’t wait for other people to do it, do it yourself! If you build it they will come.could only join once they came to a meetup in person, an “inner circle” group, if you will.create it! There are so many people that get the impulse to find like-minded people nearby, have difficulty finding them, and then stop short. Imagine if each one of those people took the additional step of creating a space for others to find each other, then our whole society would be comprised of nodes and pockets of freedom and commerce.

Now is the time. Go out there and find your Unjected Family! You will not regret it.

Here are some additional resources you can utilize for finding and building community as well:

• Unjected: Unjected.com
  • The world’s first and largest platform specifically for the Unvaccinated. Find love, friendships and community with many incredible upgrades coming soon to help us find each other!
• The Freedom Cell Movement FreedomCells.org
  • Decentralized, agorist community of people who have the attitude of “Exit and Build”
• Make Americans Free Again: MakeAmericansFreeAgain.com
  • Founded by Dr. Pam Popper, MAFA encourages people to meet in-person to build resilient parallel societies. From their website: “Once a parallel society is established, its members are no longer in the same danger as when they relied on the structures and institutions that are part of the tyrannical state (examples include education and medicine). It provides protection for when establishment structures collapse and serves the authentic needs and wants of people rather than political class.”
• The Beartaria Times App: app.BeartariaTimes.com
  • A social media app, similar to Instagram, that only allows “The good, the true and the beautiful,” no truther talk or politics, just people showing off their accomplishments, their families, their gardens and building businesses. You can meet people by state or country with a strong emphasis on in-person meetups. ($15/year)
