rlly varies, if your online application gets black holed i’d follow your PSL local’s insta and go to either an upcoming protest or meeting and talk to a member about your interest in-person there.

Notoriously bad at getting back to people, it would be better to find a way to connect irl w closest chapter and someone internally would help you out.

Took me a couple months, then a month to have an onboarding class, which was indefinitely canceled after the first two sessions. I haven’t heard from them since.

At the same time, I wasn’t going to many PSL events anymore due to personal circumstance. But I joined the PSL Action Network to have a little skin in the game. I might try to join again when I have more time. I at least enjoy getting some posters and stickers every month and the webinars are nice ways to hear from higher ups in the party (Ramsey Robinson CA gubernatorial candidate just spoke, Claudia De La Cruz is there pretty often)

Actually, because the CA gubernatorial campaign is picking up I will likely be doing some canvassing for them even if I don’t join. Would be my first electoral campaign I’ve worked on so I’m excited.

While you are waiting, show up to their events and offer as much volunteering as you can, they do expect pretty consistent work for prospective members AFAIK.

They never got back to me until I met a member irl and brought it up with them. They did an interview with me, then said they would do a an onboarding course for me. After that they ghosted me lol. I ended up finding other people to organize with as a result

After our processing hold and deployment of monitoring assets, PSL is actually pretty quick to get back to people…

I did that and still haven’t heard back, almost 20 years later.

They knew I was a lib.

I’m not in their area anymore though so doesn’t matter. This was back East.

I had to pester em a little with their message form, but now I’ve got an interview scheduled
