Joining the AWL

Welcome! The Alliance for Workers' Liberty is not a sect or a conspiracy. If you want to put consistent time and energy into fighting for solidarity and workers' liberty, and are willing to put effort into studying and discussing socialist ideas, then it is easy to join. Send us an email with your name, address, and phone numbers, and we will arrange for an AWL organiser to meet you to discuss the details. Or follow the checklist of organisational and administrative details on this page. You can also download the checklist as pdf.

• Download the AWL membership agreement form. Discuss it with a local AWL organiser, fill it in, and send a copy to the AWL office: P O Box 823, London SE15 4NA. This is a short form which summarises the basic activities you will do as a member.
• Arrange to attend a meeting of your local AWL branch to be formally proposed as a member. If you are unsure which is your nearest AWL branch, or you live a long way from any branch, contact the AWL office.
• Download the contributions assessment form, fill it in, including the bank standing order part if possible, and send to the AWL office. This means working out how much you will pay in AWL membership dues and regular literature sales money.
• Download a copy of the AWL's basic education programme, and plan with a local AWL organiser how to work through it, in a study group or in individual discussions.
• Make an arrangement to receive copies of our paper Solidarity, our magazine Workers' Liberty, and other publications regularly and promptly. Maybe your local AWL sales organiser can deliver them to you by hand. If you live a bit further out, maybe it's best for us to send them directly from the office, so please email us.
• Use the online form to send us your address, email address, and phone number, so that you can receive national mailings. If you have difficulty using the online form, just send us an email with those details.
• Join AWL e-lists
  • AWL announcements (low traffic, essential for all AWL members)

• Check out the rest of the AWL website, and register as a user of the site. The site will help keep you in touch with AWL ideas and activity - and let you keep other AWL people in touch with your ideas and activity, by posting contributions on the site. The resources page on the site is a useful reference point for basic AWL materials.
