DIY Organizing - Home

A collaborative guide to progressive youth organizing.

Here’s the deal. Progressive youth organizing as a movement has no collective memory. People cycle in and out every few years. Some work their way deeper into politics, some move on to other fields. It’s a bad situation that results in many youth groups starting over from scratch every few years, repeating past mistakes, and inhibits our ability to build on past successes.

We want to change that.

Help us create a repository of “How to’s,” “FAQs,” and “Beginners Guides” that young progressives can use to sharpen their political game, bootstrap new organizations into existence, and GOTV our peers.
