Thanks for being a part of r/WalkAway and swinging by this 'Weekly Welcome Thread'. r/WalkAway is THE premier subreddit for those who have had enough of the left's catastrophic policies and unhinged behavior. We're a supportive community which persuades people globally to walk away from the political left through first-hand testimonials. Whether you walked away, are trying to, or are a lifelong patriot, we can share news, memes, ideas, and resources with mutual respect.
A new 'Welcome Thread' posts every week on Sunday at 1:30pm ET to welcome new members, and to hear from anyone in the community with questions or advice about leaving the left. It's also a place to ask questions and get more information about the sub, its rules, and its resources.
You can always find the most current thread stickied to the top of the sub (if you don't see it, filter the posts by "Hot").
Purpose of this weekly thread:
- For new community members to introduce themselves, learn what the sub is about, and find and get plugged into all the community has to offer
- For new and existing community members to ask questions or give advice on the dynamics and challenges of walking away
- For anyone to find the best information, resources, and tips on leaving the left and/or America's Democrat Party
Any questions and advice you have greatly benefits those who are new to the sub and who are looking for help and answers.

- FOLLOW OUR SUB RULES: To keep the sub alive and well on Reddit, the mods heavily monitor controversial topics and swing a heavy ban hammer for breaking Reddit ToS and bad faith participation. Some post content doesn't work well on our sub so avoid posting about being banned on Reddit, the LGBT+, minors, or anything racially-charged or violent. If you want your content checked and approved more quickly or have other concerns, then don't hesitate to message the mods. They'll be glad to look into any issue you have and help the best way they can. (About | Reddit Content Policy | Reddiquette | Rules)

- WEEKLY THREAD: You can always find a Welcome Thread (this post) stickied to the top of the r/WalkAway that refreshes every Sunday at 1:30pm ET. If you don’t readily see it, filtering the posts by "Hot" should show it. It’s the perfect rallying point to introduce yourself to the community, to ask questions and give advice on leaving the left, and to find our best resources.

- WEEKLY POLL: On the second, third, and fourth Tuesdays of every month you’ll find an official subreddit poll, posted and usually stickied to the top of r/WalkAway, where mods take the community's pulse on the most buzzworthy news stories and issues of the week. (Example Poll | Featured Polls on Wiki | Posts Archive Page)
- MONTHLY RECOGNITION: On the first Tuesday of every month, r/WalkAway mods post a ‘Monthly Recognition’ announcement to recognize and level up some of our 'Redpilled' flaired users to two higher tiered flairs: 'EXTRA Redpilled' and 'ULTRA Redpilled'. User flair recipients reflect the most redpilled, active posters and/or commenters for the prior 30 days in the opinion of the mods. (About | Example Monthly Recognition | Posts Archive Page)
