I go to school in Easton, PA, so I try to pay attention to what's going on in Philadelphia to the best of my ability (even though I'm more tied to NYC for several reasons.)

John is a great guy, and he deserves a lot of credit. He works his ass off. As far as I know, Socialist Action IS the explicitly Socialist group active in Philadelphia, although I am sure there are others. The organize a lot of demonstrations. I'm not sure about the turn out though. It is a fairly large city. Are you from the area?

Only the first name, but I've met him a couple times. I'm trying to get a sense of what groups are active in Philadelphia, and Socialist Action seems to be the one that I come across often (though that might be because they post a lot to mailing lists)

I used to be involved with Socialist Action Philadelphia, as a matter of fact! I left the group though, for multiple reasons, some theoretical but mostly personal reasons. I am still on the e-mailing list, and I am subscribed to the paper, so I try to keep up with them.

Do the names John Kirkland, Jason Joyce, or Michael Schreiber ring a bell?

Noticed your post on the supposed docker's strike against Honduran goods. Who are the "local Trots" in your area? I know Socialist Action and Workers Power have people in Philadelphia, so I'm curious as to who you've run into.
