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?

    My brother and I were wondering if we should join our local PSL? Normally it wouldn’t be a question, but the branch is for the large city near us. Only thing is the city is kinda far away, like we can do stuff on weekends but I was wondering if anybody in the PSL could help us to know how involved it is, because if I’m supposed to show up to help canvass or organize like once a week I wouldn’t be able to do that, but a few times a month on weekends I could definitely do, basically just wondering how often they meet/how long do events last bc I’ve been reading their news for a while and I would love to join and help them in any way

      In my personal experience, the organizers seem pretty keen on trying to ensure you’re doing what you’re comfortable with. They asked me about my availability, and I included that I still wanted days to do other human things as well :). They understood!

      Of course, urgent actions / other current events do pop up, and the organizers present the option to join. I had work, but I bailed to join the pride march!

        That’s great, I actually have weekends off for my job, but if something were to come up on a weekday I’m lucky enough to have a job that doesn’t care so much so I can call off for important stuff, so thanks for letting me know

        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
