They have seen a meteoric rise in recent years. Their sister/front organisations like ANSWER, Codepink, People's Forum, BTnews have all become household names. When I look at protests in the U.S., it seems so many of them are organised directly, or indirectly, by them. In comparison, organisations like the CPUSA or the DSA are lacking behind.

How and why?

They put on some many events in my city including stuff like film screenings, crochet nights, salsa dancing lessons, open mics. Most of these are usually accompanied with some type of labor or history lesson. They are just a really approachable group here and are constantly engaging the community. That kind of stuff really draws people in (including people who aren’t really super interested in politics)
