The question every socialist needs to ask is 'what is to be done'?
When we look around and see all of the problems that surround us, we can feel helpless. We don't have much power alone, but our collective power can change the world!
So how do we take advantage of that power as a united working class? Well, that's where organizing comes in.
DSA is an 'organization of organizers', where we recognize that we each have a role to play in our struggle for socialism. If you're looking to improve your organizing skills or learn some new ones, this is this place to start.
Our Fundamentals of Organizing series will cover:
- What is Organizing? (virtual): Understanding the role of the organizer and how to develop a campaign to win strategic demands
- From Strategy to Tactics (virtual): Learning how to use tools like power mapping and research to determine the necessary steps to win demands
- Building People Power (in person): Developing practices to build a base through 1 on 1 conversations, ladders of engagement, and listwork.
These lessons build off one another so it's recommended that you attend them in order when possible. Due to limited space, priority for the third session will be given to those who have attended the first two meetings.
Philosophers have only interpreted the world. The point is to change it.
