    The people on our wait-list that stay engaged, show up to events, and help with organizing tasks are the ones who make it in. The ones who bail because being white put them at the back of the line instead of the front for the first time in their lives aren’t serious revolutionaries in the first place.

      What does party membership entail above and beyond these things? Asking out of raw ignorance on my part. Just showing up and listening or helping out is all I’d expect to do anyway for a long while.

        You take on all the rights and responsibilities of a member. You pay dues, you attend regular meetings, you go through the education program, you have the right to vote, you are assigned tasks to complete with the expectation that you will do them in a timely and professional manner, and you are a representative of the party in all political contexts.
