What's a good resource for progressive activism in New York City?

Question

I'm new to the area and though I try to stay informed, I often miss out. For example, I heard nothing of the march yesterday (10/17/2007) until after it was over.

I've done web searches, but the sites found are either bare-bones or more often way outdated, touting 'Kerry for President'! Where can I look for more comprehensive, current information on progressive issues and events?

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can try the headquarters of the Socialist Party, USA. They seem to be involved in a lot of the anti-war effort. Here's the address and phone number below. I've also included the link to their web site in the source column:
Socialist Party, USA
339 Lafayette St. #303
New York City, NY
Tel: [phone]

Answer 2

Meetup.com has groups that meet-up for this. Also, check your candidate's page. They have announcements and such.

I'm in NYC and going to do fund-raising for Ron Paul. Contact me if you want to go. I'm going to his rally next Saturday (11/10). Come check him out. I'm Dem but going with him. He is a viable option compared to the parties.

Answer 3

Try subscribing to the Democratic Leadership for
the 21st Century of New York's mailing list.
