Chapter Working Bodies

Welcome to the working bodies of our chapter! Each of these types of groups serves a different purpose, but all are ultimately shared spaces for comrades to connect and work together. Most group communication takes place on Discord, most files are stored on Google Drive, and events can be found on Google Calendar.

Our chapter working bodies change over time to reflect the ongoing projects and needs of the chapter. Groups can be formed, dissolved, restructured, or reformed based on members’ decisions! An example of this is the New Strategy - a proposal that passed in June 2025. The resolution transitioned “working groups” to “campaigns” to better focus chapter organizing efforts, increase new member engagement, and lower the barrier to entry to chapter work.

Is there a group you would like to see here but don’t? That’s actually how all chapter working bodies start - a member has an idea, garners interest from the chapter, and brings it into reality!
