Right, I've got a bit of a dilemma, where I live we have our SolFed local, SELCAP (South East London Coalition Against Poverty - which I think is part of LCAP) and Community Action Lewisham.
I'm not too keen on Community Action Lewisham as it's pretty activisty, so at the moment I'm not sure about whether or not to put all my efforts into trying to get our SolFed local doing the kind of community organising I want to see, or if it would make more sense getting involved in SELCAP which already has a couple of SolFed comrades involved and seems pretty sound.
What do people think?
Speaking as a former LCAP member and still a supporter, I think you should work with your Solfed local in supporting SELCAP become a decent group.
I think CAL are alright actually, but SELCAP can work with them on a case by case basis I would have thought.
