Posted to FB by Tim Horras:
Very proud of Philly Socialists, which has just surpassed 100
dues-paying members here in Philadelphia. While we remain a somewhat
idiosyncratic, highly localized phenomenon within the socialist milieu,
in the half-decade since our founding (2011) we have grown in leaps and
bounds, so we must be doing something right.
While at this time we are based in a single city, I can see a day not
too long from now when we unify and fuse with other like-minded
socialist collectives and come into our own as an increasingly resonant
voice within the larger movement. This process is already well on its
way thanks to the hard work of our comrades at Kentucky Workers League.
Next year, my goal is to focus on organizing at the national level with
the help of Will Emmons, Justin Stanley and others.
2017 will mark several big changes in my life. In addition to the birth
of my daughter, I will be resigning from my five-year tenure as Chair of
this organization. I couldn't imagine leaving my post with the
organization being any better positioned than it is right now. It's
inspiring to see the young leaders in the group who have taken up the
banner and are preparing to strike it in a new direction. While I plan
to offer my counsel, the party will be theirs to lead.
But don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. There's a big to-do in
Washington D.C. next month I'm expecting to attend. Maybe you've heard
about it? I'll be there, but I won't be up on the dais with the
sycophants, fawning over the president-elect. I'll be in the streets
with tens of thousands of ordinary Americans, saying: "Not without a fight!"
