American Solidarity Party Launches New Online Member Community Platform

Written By Jordan Willow Evans

The American Solidarity Party has launched a new online member community that will operate as the party’s primary communications hub moving forward, including for state organizing, event planning, and other items of party business.

The party announced the launch Tuesday, saying in a statement that the new ASP Community platform will replace several tools previously used by the organization, including the Pelican Forum. The party said all internal communication will now take place through the new system.

“With many new members and a season of growth, a new online home for the ASP has been long in the making,” the party said.

The new system is built on Orgo, a platform for organizations with multiple chapters, and features discussion forums for national and state party members. Independent Political Report made an account and found that members are asked to name their own price to access the full range of resources available through the platform, with the party platform administrators currently requiring a minimum contribution of $1.

ASP Community also includes an event calendar, document sharing capabilities, and tools for conducting party polls and votes. Member groups visible within the platform include spaces for general discussion and subject-specific conversations, including philosophy. Members can also use the system to organize around candidates and campaigns, as well as make donations to the national party and its state affiliates.

The platform is accessible either by using a web browser or through standalone mobile apps for Apple and Android devices. State chapters also have their own subpages and discussion forums within the system, giving members a separate space for affiliate-level communication and organizing.

“We welcome you to a new chapter for the American Solidarity Party, and we’re excited to see how the ASP Community helps us grow together,” the party continued.
