A lot of working-class voters, who live outside of blue voting areas are asking: Where the hell is the Democratic party?

Sad to say, the “Party of the People” is mired in Washington, controlled by a cadre of high-dollar consultants, corporate lobbyists, big donors, and meek political leaders who’ve decide that “red” and rural American voters are lost causes. But grassroots progressives who live in those areas say: Bovine excrement! After all, you damn sure can’t win if you don’t bother to show up.

So, party inertia aside, progressive advocates for working class values, policies, and people must become the ground-level organizers to build a “little-d” democratic majority. Not by writing position papers, but by “going there” in-person, online, or otherwise. Let’s tap grassroots savvy to find ways to reach and move millions of people (just a few at a time) who’re now not being reached or motivated.

Who will do this? Maybe you! Or someone you know: People (young or old) with talent-skills-ideas that are now not being fully used should consider this chance to make a difference. , one of our nation’s best organizers of community organizers recently issued an Open Call for creative dedicated people to do new working-class organizing all across our country.

Don’t know how? It basically involves learning to listen to local people. Goehl, with his team of seasoned organizers, will train and provide essential support for people whose organizing ideas are accepted. Happily, project positions come with a full-time salary, benefits, and a start-up budget. The whole idea is to try new things, invest in what works… and win!

Want to throw you hat and ideas into the mix? No charge to apply. You can fill out an application at georgegoehl.substack.com.
