I'm incredibly skeptical of any strategy that depends on trying to "convince" capitalist organizations to help the people. This is entirely contrary to how the working class has historically taken power, the organization must itself be a worker organization. Lady Izdihar made an excellent model of the Leninist theory of revolutionary organization:
Worker organizing has consistently been the most effective and widespread form of gaining working class control. We cannot simply appeal to congress, even if we could flip one against the system they represent, they would be drummed out of the party and relentlessly harassed. The capitalist system protects itself from within, and must be overthrown by the working class.
