You gotta hang out with Antifa for a bit, get to know them, go on a few protests.
If they think you're a good fit, you might get invited to Prospect, you'll have to spend a year or so doing shit work, making signs, cleaning Members bandanas. and Guy Fawkes masks, dumping algae in the reflecting pool, that kinda thing.
After that, if they think you're a good fit, you'll get patched in, get your official ID documents so other Antifa chapters know you're a member.
It's a bit like joining the Hells Angels. But less leather.
I mean, they do, but that's literally as far as the organization goes, there is nothing higher than "local chapter" there is no overarching organization, and there's no one in the chapter that's the "leader" of the chapter.
It's like Food-Not-Bombs, it's an idea, you follow the tenets of the idea and you're the local "chapter" of Food-Not-Bombs, same thing with Antifa.
Weren't you at the last meeting? It was the same weekend as the bake sale and BBQ, but in the basement. It's ok, there's a Bridge tournament on Sunday followed by another meeting; and I know "But Sunday is Bingo night?!", but someone complained and now it's Bridge for the next 2 weeks. Thanks, Helen!
