==What is the OC==
'''The Organizing Committee is the central coordinating and decision making body for USSF planning.'''

The Organizing Committee (OC) represents the Working Groups, Detroit Local Organizing Committee (DLOC) at-large members and anchors, and brings together national and local representatives and staff. The OC will inform and make decisions around the body of work for planning and organizing the USSF. The OC also drafts proposals and makes recommendations to the NPC at its face-to-face meetings and monthly calls.

The main task of the OC is to ensure coordination between and amongst the working groups and national and local organizing. The OC ensures that the NPC and DLOC get regular updates about working group decisions, processes, and needs. This body troubleshoots gaps or breakdowns in the process and helps resolves problems by making recommendations to the NPC. The OC evaluates the overall work plan and timeline, and ensures the USSF is meeting its goals and keeping on task. The OC also helps track overall political cohesion of the USSF and helps identify political conversations/contradictions that the NPC should be discussing.

Representatives to the Organizing Committee must be willing to undertake these higher level responsibilities and be accountable for their work to other members. They should also perform them in a manner consistent with USSF principles.
