A fundamental question for the party in the street is how to connect with other parts of the party, especially the party in government. One strategy that its adherents use – as Bill Goold explains in the opening quote – is to simultaneously work inside and outside political institutions, such as Congress. Their objective is to use the power of those institutions to accomplish some of the goals of the movement (Weldon 2011). These efforts are facilitated by a handful of leaders who are both a part of the party in the street and the party in government. Members of Congress who regularly speak at movement rallies and conferences – such as Representative John Conyers Jr., pictured in Figure 6.1 in front of a banner reading “Healthcare Not Warfare” – might be counted as belonging to this group. For the antiwar movement after 9/11, we also think of Representatives Dennis Kucinich, Barbara Lee, Jim McGovern, Maxine Waters, and Lynn Woolsey as having filled this niche. Other members of Congress may straddle the fuzzy boundary (which we describe in Chapter 1) between the party in the street and the mainstream political party. Yet the vast majority of members of Congress do not fully embrace the sentiments of the party in the street, even if they do sympathize with some of its goals. A significant challenge for the movement is to recruit these potential supporters to promote the movement's agenda.
