Red Help ATX
Rules and Procedures
Mission Statement: We are revolutionary minded Marxist Leninists who believe in building community power through helping our neighbors, educating our friends, and organizing our workplaces. We believe that a revolution which feeds the people, will free the people.
A comrade is disciplined in their revolutionary goals.
A comrade must study Marxism Leninism. Recommended reading list below.
A comrade must participate to the best of their ability to be considered a full member. This includes but is not limited to: attending meetings, coming to drops, fundraising, hosting educational events, organizing externally, participating in discord discussions, submitting substack articles, collecting donations, etc.
A comrade must not be a creep. Your organizing comrades are not your hook up pool. Romance is not banned, but creeping on your comrades will get you expelled.
Snitches get stitches. Anyone found collaborating with cops, feds, republicans, democrats, or other fascists who wish us harm will face severe disciplinary action.
Internal discussions must stay internal (singal, discord, in person). No bashing comrades online.
To Join:
Members must be at least 21 to join.
A new comrade must be recommended by an existing member.
New comrades may be subjected to an interview by an officer before being accepted.
All new members join under a six month probationary period when they may be expelled for any reason. After six months, disciplinary procedures are outlined below.
Red Help ATX does not charge dues, but members are encouraged to donate $5-25 monthly if possible.
