About
Hi! I’m a grad student interested in researching how leftist mass-membership organizations grow.
Since 2023, I have (slowly) compiled 3 datasets on leftist mass-membership organizations. 1st, on mass membership itself. (More members!) 2nd, on electoral campaigns. (More members, more wins? More wins, more members?) 3rd, on finances of leftist orgs. (More members, more money.) I hope these datasets help leftist organizers identify which organizations (and which strategies) grow mass membership, and where leftists can run and win electoral power.
If you find any inaccuracies, or any additional data sources, please contact me!
