It's an organization about anything.
Now, of course, it's not as vague as it sounds, but it's also not one of those very specific organizations.
Students Against Sweat Labor.
Food Not Bombs.
Environmental Advocates.
MeCha.
There's a ton of organizations like these that fight for a specific thing. Our organization is either in touch or trying to get in touch with movements and clubs like these to help out but not belong particularly to any of them.
We just do about anything we can think of doing and are capable of doing that helps the community and promotes the Left.
It has some Marxist tendencies, but in the end it's just about what we feel should be done. By having created a new group with no specific goals, we can do anything and everything we feel is appropriate.
For example, this coming semester we're going to be more active on promoting Fair Trade, ending the war with this new president (as my city's economy is heavily based on Fort Bliss this is big), and further up trying to hold Food Not Bombs events and its brother Comida No Migra.
And hell yes! I agree fully with you Humane. It's so hard to get organized with people my age that one of our motto's is "Commit to Commit."
Going with the same thing I said about no specific goals, we are more interested in getting people to commit into committing to a change rather than committing to a change, because experience tells us people will say yeah to anything, but won't have their hearts on it.
Anyway, sorry for talking so much; it just excites me.
