How to Get
Involved
There are a number of ways to get involved with
Lake Superior Socialist Action.
Below are three ways that you can get involved in helping to build
the socialist movement.
Joining Youth for Socialist Action: Youth
for Socialist Action is the campus/youth wing of Socialist Action. Our goal is to have YSA chapters on
every campus in the region. Joining
YSA is very easy, and is a great way to see if joining the socialist
movement is right for you.
Membership in YSA is open to anyone in their teens and twenties. YSA has 2 membership requirements:
 Being in general agreement
with YSA’s 10 Program.
Paying annual membership dues
of $15 (though this can be waived for special circumstances).
To apply to join
YSA send your name and contact info to: Youth for Socialist Action, P.O.
Box 16853, Duluth MN 55816 along with your dues. As a member you’ll receive
an introductory literature packet, a membership card, and a one-year
subscription to Socialist Action newspaper.
Volunteering With Socialist Action: We
encourage people of all ages who are interested in helping to build the
socialist movement, but who aren’t sure if they’re ready to formally join,
to volunteer with Socialist Action.
As a volunteer you get to pick and choose which of our projects or
campaigns you’ll put your time and energy into.
Our group is involved in a ton
of local activism and organizing, so there’s always plenty of things that
we need help with, including: distributing Socialist Action newspaper and
other literature, putting up fliers, staffing literature tables at public
events, setting up YSA chapters on the campuses, raising money to help pay
our bills, and helping us to build local coalitions like the Northland
Anti-War Coalition. If you’re
interested in volunteering send an email to mnsocialist@yahoo.com
Joining Socialist Action: Socialist
Action is a small but growing revolutionary group of activists dedicated to
helping lead a working class revolution in the United States. We are a
two-fisted propaganda group that seeks to popularize and spread the ideas
of revolutionary Marxism, while at the same time working with and helping
to develop the social movements of workers, students and the oppressed.
Through our political program, our experience and the dedication of our
comrades, we are confident that we have something very important to offer
the coming American revolution, and we invite you to join us in helping
that revolution come about.
Membership in SA is open to open to anyone who is in general agreement with
our program, commits to being an active member of the organization and who
agrees to abide by majority decisions. Dues are $5 a month, plus we urge our
members to contribute more if they can.
Members are expected to attend our bi-weekly planning meetings, and
to actively help carry out our projects.
