Outside of party politics: I recently got involved with the unionization of a local store, and it was successful! Workers will often look for customer/community advocates to press management on their behalf, keep your eye out for that.

Went to an info session for my local county Dem party. Precinct elections are early march, thinking bout trying for precinct chair. This is one of the few counties in Oklahoma that ever puts any Dems in office so maybe I can do a thing!

do it. organize progressives and get them to show up and vote for you. these elections are usually really sleepy and the old guard doesn't care about showing up

How do I find out about low-level elected positions (like precinct captain or whatever the heck) and then research which ones had no opposition/close margins/etc?

Go to local meetings and ask around. None of this poo poo is on the internet

If that's not the case then I apologize for the misinformation. There was a local DCC meeting to elect something (I thought it was delegates?) and it was open to all registered Democrats. Maybe that's not true or maybe that's not what they were voting for, sorry.

plenty of places only let you vote if you've been a dues paying member of the party for a while (sometimes a month), this is to discourage both republicans and progressives from influencing the party

Was at a minor state convention a few days ago, Bernie folks swept it. Best part was when the establishment folks were getting more and more frustrated at their losses and one of then shrieked "sure, you all are pandering to the Bernie crowd, but what about JOE MANCHIN"
