Joining Socialist Resurgence

Membership in Socialist Resurgence is open to open to anyone who is in general agreement with our political program, agrees to abide by our constitution, pays dues and commits to be an active participant in the organization. 

PROVISIONAL MEMBERSHIP: New members go through a 3 month trial run, which we call Provisional Membership.  During this time the new member gets to come into the group and see if membership is right for them. 

DUES: Once provisional membership is over, membership dues are $10 a month, plus any additional donations (what we call "sustainers) that they can afford.  We understand that money is tight for most of us, but our organization is funded entirely by its members and supporters, so it's important that we contribute what we can.  By not relying on grants or handouts of wealthy donors, we are able to maintain our independence.

BRANCH MEETINGS: Currently our local membership meetings are held once a month.  At these meetings we discuss the campaigns that we are involved in, plan our forums, vote on any proposals that are made, and hold classes on political theory and the history of our movement.  

SUPPORTERS: If for whatever reason you're not able to become a full member of SR, you can still be a supporter of the group.  While they can't vote like full members can, supporters are invited to our meetings, and participate in a variety of whatever ways they feel comfortable with.

This may all sound a bit daunting, but we do ask that members make a serious commitment.  After all, the goal we have set for ourselves as a movement is pretty epic.  But being a revolutionary isn't all about sacrifice.  It's also an opportunity to grow and develop into a more well rounded individual leading a more meaningful life.  Joining the revolutionary movement exposes you to new ideas, new experiences and new people, all of which broadens your horizons.  We believe that in striving together to make a better world we can become better people in the process of making the world a better place!

If you have any questions, or would like to set up a meeting to talk more about possibly becoming a member, you can reach us at LakeSuperiorSocialists@gmail.com.
