I've spent the last week or so calling round to people I know in different parts of the US to get a sense of what is happening where they are. Here is a report on some of what they've told me, in addition to some thoughts of my own. https://oaklandsocialist.com/2017/02/23/the-developing-mood-in-the-us/ John Reimann
Last night I went out to Brooklyn for a meeting at the Community Bookstore for my friend George Scialabba who was there to promote his new book "Low Dishonest Decades: Essays & Reviews, 1980-2015" that was structured as a Q&A with him and Doug Henwood.
Doug and George tend to be a lot more pessimistic than me so I made a comment about the growth of Philly Socialists and a left wing in DSA, etc. Just after I spoke, a woman sitting beside me who had been a union official for 35 years spoke about encouraging signs herself. She mentioned that there's a feminist group in NY that is largely made up of young woman with weekly meetings averaging 40-50 but at the first one following Trump's inauguration, 600 women showed up.
