QUICK GUIDE TO [DPSR] PARTY BUILDING: WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO DO IT!
PART ONE: THE PARTY
- The Democratic Party For Socialist Reconstruction [DPSR] is being built as a radical alternative political platform and party to harvest the growing anger against inept, incompetent and corrupt governance of the ruling political elites; and convert that anger into significant electoral leverage capable of wresting political power from the treasury looters.
- The DPSR is aware that quite a few new and genuine alternative party building initiatives are presently being ongoing across the country; furthermore, we recognize that defeating the discredited parties of the ruling treasury looting elites will require the United Effort and Struggle of the oppressed working peoples and other downtrodden and marginalized segments of society, including youths, women, people living with disabilities.
- In recognition of this essential need for Unity of the masses; the DPSR commits itself to working fully towards the possible convergence of all or a majority of these genuine alternative party initiatives into a United Movement Party Type which stands the best chance of wresting power from the ruling class parties, and beginning the process of social self emancipation of our peoples and the national liberation of our country.
- In order to achieve these we are committed to building a truly mass membership, and mass participatory Democratic Party. In furtherance of these tasks; we call on all those who are angry about the parlous state of affairs of our country and the dehumanizing condition of living of our people; who are angry and concerned enough and are determined to do something significant about it; We call on all such compatriots to come and join with us in building this political platform and Take Back Nigeria!
PART TWO: PARTY BUILDING TARGET
- Our target is to have active membership strength of at least 100,000 spread across at least 1,000 party units, each consisting of 75 to 150 active members by the end 2013.
- To achieve this we require recruiting at least 1,000 Party Organisers across the country, each of whom will take up the responsibility of building party units in their respective localities [1,000 party units].
- Our target is to recruit these initial 1,000 party members by the end of February 2013.
PART THREE: BUILDING THE PARTY
- Use the Party manifesto to speak with and convince potential members to join the party.
- Establish and grow a Unit of the party in your locality and environs through such awareness raising activity.
- Establish and keep a party unit membership register and capture details of party members; grow Party Unit membership to a minimum of 75 members, and a maximum of 150 members.
- Organise periodic Political awareness and membership drive initiatives: including rallies, Party Unit meetings, town hall meetings, etc.
- Use posters, handbills, stickers, etc to popularize the party and its manifesto, and in order to recruit members.
- Make effective and wide use of the media [print and broadcast], including the new social media [twitter, facebook, blogs, websites] in political awareness raising, membership drive etc.
- Organise Party Outreaches to places where people are concentrated: neighbourhoods, markets, places of worship, campuses, etc;
- Organise support for and intervene in the struggles of the different segments of society; including workers struggles, struggles against evictions and demolitions; youth struggles against unemployment; struggles against criminalization of livelihoods of poor people [ban on okada riders, ban on bus drivers, demolition of communities, kiosks etc].
- Organise regular Party Unit meetings and take and keep records of such meetings.
- Establish Interim Party Unit Coordinating Committee for each party unit.
