Calling all DSA convention delegates, political educators, and comrades who gather...

NPEC invites you to a preconvention gathering to discuss socialist and working class mass gathering, as we prepare ourselves for our own big mass gathering: our biannual convention!

What does the left do when we gather? Why is gathering important to us? What individual feelings and collective spirit are invoked when we gather? What can we learn and what inspiration can we gain from our past gatherings?

We've put together a dossier of brief readings (with a "short list" option!) that touch on first-hand accounts and examples of gatherings, and political theory on elements crucial to socialist gathering. This will be less lecture or debate; more an informal Socratic synthesis/consciousness-raising with lots of participation and sharing. We hope you can find the time to read some if not all of the materials and contribute your questions and comments beforehand. RSVP for access. Join us!
