Committees Interest Form - 2025

We’re currently restructuring our Internal Committees to strengthen AfroSoC’s foundation and deepen our organizing capacity. While Working Groups (WGs) were originally proposed, we are temporarily pausing the formation of WGs in order to focus on developing consistent internal organizing through three key Committees:
Communications Committee: Supports internal and external communications, including social media, emails, Discord, and political messaging. Helps amplify AfroSoC work and craft tools that keep our members engaged and informed.
Growth & Development Committee: Focuses on membership retention, onboarding, and leadership development. Builds connections with local chapters and supports political homes for AfroSoC members.
Political Education Committee: Leads political education efforts grounded in Black radical traditions. Plans study groups, teach-ins, and creates learning resources on abolition, labor, reparations, Black feminism, and multiracial solidarity.
These Committees will support AfroSoC’s national infrastructure, facilitate political education, and help retain and engage membership across chapters and affiliates.
What’s the difference between Committees and Working Groups?
Committees: Internal-facing groups focused on sustaining the Caucus—developing toolkits, organizing trainings, managing communications, and coordinating political education, by and for AfroSoC members.
Working Groups (WGs): [Temporarily Paused]—Project-based, member-driven spaces typically focused on campaigns, research, and issue-area organizing. These may return in the future once we’ve built stronger internal flow.
Each WG/Committee must have at least 12 interested people to remain active within the caucus. Leadership positions (up to 4 co-chairs per WG/Committee) will be available to help facilitate and sustain the work. Please find the interest form on our ActionNetwork to select the Committees you’d like to be a part of. You can use the form to suggest other topics that interest you that may not be already listed.
All Working Group (WG) and Committee suggestions were directly sourced from the February 2nd "AfroSoC is Back!" virtual event, where members from across the country shared their priorities and focus areas.
