Summary
The EFF is firing up for local elections with a bold new strategy: smaller, hyper-local leadership teams focused on sub-regions, making mobilization sharper and more effective. They’re running in all 4,400 wards, doubling down on grassroots membership—especially among youth—and aggressive voter registration, learning from past mistakes. Despite leadership departures, they’re more resilient than ever, fueled by a growing, stable base. Their campaign centers on a “people’s manifesto” shaped by community input, not just HQ, and they’re prioritizing competence over celebrity for mayoral picks—seeking leaders who can deliver water, housing, and services. They’ve pinpointed key municipalities for outright wins and are doubling down on core policies: land expropriation without compensation, insourcing, free education, and expanded healthcare. Coalitions? Only with parties truly aligned—no DA or FF Plus. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
