So you are now a member of DSA, but there is no local chapter where you live. You are thinking of starting a local chapter, but you're not quite sure how to do it.

In Starting a Local Chapter from Scratch you will learn:

• how other locals got started in recent years
• how to find out who is already a member
• the importance of a comrade
• how to recruit new members
• the importance of a mentor
• how to become a recognized organizing committee
• how to become a chartered local
• what works best to bring new people in.
