I see them posted around a lot for their reporting on labor action. I remember one of their articles popped up in my feed and it's a white dude talking about being oppressed for having red hair and how Obama inspired him to be a lawyer. He clarifies he's part of the organization just because he followed one of the org leaders on Twitter for ages. Look at this from their form about setting up a chapter:
