See \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/tempestmag.org\/test02\/about\/our-politics\/\">Our politics<\/a>.\u201d We have broad agreement on political perspectives, but don\u2019t represent a line or a single point of view.<\/p>\r\n<p>We are building local chapters across the country. We organize public forums and events events to educate, discuss, and engage with struggles.Tempest members are engaged in activism in unions and other\u00a0 workers\u2019 organizations in housing rights, climate and racial justice movements, in the fights for bodily autonomy and gender liberation, against the threat of the far right, and for internationalist solidarity with Palestine and other struggles.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>We need new forms of revolutionary organization that can better meet this moment, that can bring fresh eyes to how we make revolutionary organization relevant to what\u2019s happening and what needs to be done. We do not claim to have the answer to how a new revolutionary organizational form will come about. We want to contribute to the process of figuring out how to strengthen organized socialist forces in this era of worsening crises, a process that is underway in many different publications and organizations.<\/p>\r\n<p>Our collective produces this online publication, pursuing pieces from activists and writers that grapple with the emerging questions for the Left. Our editors don\u2019t uniformly endorse every position represented in the articles published, and operate on the premise that genuine engagement and debate will strengthen our movement and politics.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Tempest aims to contribute to the reconstitution of revolutionary politics and organization in the United States and Canada today.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>If you want to get involved, get in touch! <br \/><a href=\"mailto:mail@tempestmag.org\">mail@tempestmag.org<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr class=\"half\" \/>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><!-- Begin Mailchimp Embedded Signup Form -->\r\n<div id=\"mc_embed_signup\" class=\"contact-form-embedded\"><form id=\"mc-embedded-subscribe-form\" class=\"validate\" action=\"https:\/\/tempestmag.us17.list-manage.com\/subscribe\/post?u=1a291eb250a755df491d78e4b&amp;id=0c97460c63\" method=\"post\" name=\"mc-embedded-subscribe-form\" novalidate=\"\" target=\"_blank\">\r\n<div id=\"mc_embed_signup_scroll\">\r\n<h3>Join our email list<\/h3>\r\n<div class=\"mc-field-group mce-grp-fname\"><label for=\"mce-FNAME\">First Name <span class=\"required\">(required)<\/span><\/label> <input id=\"mce-FNAME\" class=\"\" name=\"FNAME\" type=\"text\" value=\"\" \/><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"mc-field-group mce-grp-lname\"><label for=\"mce-LNAME\">Last Name <span class=\"required\">(required)<\/span><\/label> <input id=\"mce-LNAME\" class=\"\" name=\"LNAME\" type=\"text\" value=\"\" \/><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"mc-field-group mce-grp-email\"><label for=\"mce-EMAIL\">Email <span class=\"required\">(required)<\/span><\/label> <input id=\"mce-EMAIL\" class=\"required email\" name=\"EMAIL\" type=\"email\" value=\"\" \/><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"mce-responses\" class=\"clear\">\r\n<div id=\"mce-error-response\" class=\"response\" style=\"display: none;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"mce-success-response\" class=\"response\" style=\"display: none;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<!-- real people should not fill this in and expect good things - do not remove this or risk form bot signups-->\r\n<div style=\"position: absolute; left: -5000px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><input tabindex=\"-1\" name=\"b_1a291eb250a755df491d78e4b_0c97460c63\" type=\"text\" value=\"\" \/> <input id=\"mce-group[01234]-01234-0\" checked=\"checked\" name=\"group[01245][8]\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"8\" \/><label for=\"mce-group[16521]-01234-0\">English site<\/label><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"clear\"><input id=\"mc-embedded-subscribe\" class=\"button\" name=\"subscribe\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Subscribe\" \/><br \/><hr class=\"half\" \/>\r\n<h3>Donate<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We don&#8217;t receive money from any outside sources because we believe that the Left needs financial independence as well as political independence.
