Just curious and getting a feel, but why?
I am not in a party myself, because I can’t see any active in my area that I like and those I tried getting in touch with never replied.
For now I’ve settled with joining the IWW and hope to organize my workplace at a later date when I am more settled in, but as of now I am a newbie to my industry and to my company.
Maybe once I learn organizing techniques and get a network of people I can trust in my area, I’ve considered organizing a new party locally, but as of now that is more of a interesting thought than something I can actually accomplish in my current situation with my current knowledge base and current network.
What about you? What challenges have held you up so far?
I applied for candidate membership and had to bow out when they discussed what I’d have to do. I’ve got some family commitments, and it made me worry I wouldn’t be able to do both. It seems like:
–Sharing or interacting with social media posts
–Weekly education meetings - these might be online through liberation school now, I’m not sure.
–Protests or other party work as it came up. It didn’t seem like that would be weekly, but I don’t know.
It probably depends what branch is local to you. Do you already follow your local branch on insta or whatever? You should be able to get an idea of what they do from that.
Thanks that’s a great idea, I’ll check my local page’s socials, I’m sure they probably talk about events they do because I know they allow people to join protests whether they’re members or not
