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.

Consistent pressure, building coalitions to lobby individual council members on the most relevant approaches, big public shaming media campaigns (Your tax dollars are funding genocide while they but education and transit, "progressive" county exec is responsible for genocide). We're hosting a statewide conference to help other counties achieve the same next month.
