I recently invited a new contact to a cell meeting where we were discussing the How to Build the RCP booklet. I first got his contact through an anti-AI protest and we discussed the Russian Revolution at our first meeting, as he was reading an academic text on the Russian Revolution. I sent him an article from Marxist.com to give him our perspectives as Marxists. The meeting went well, so I invited him to the next cell meeting. He read the booklet and came prepared with questions.
Then, he stated he was impressed with how well the meeting was organized and was pleased with the level of professionalism and discussion. He was so pleased that he donated $300 to the cell and we have already set up a meeting to go over the book “What is Marxism?” later this week. Having a professional meeting where comrades come prepared actually makes a difference and sets us apart from other leftist organizations. Being in the RCP is a responsibility and when you show it to newcomers, they will respond in kind. This is why people take us seriously.
