%X the main aim of this paper is to show that the workers' party (pt) continues to be strongly attached to civil society organizations and capable of attracting members after a series of programmatic and ideological changes in the last 15 years. through the evaluation of membership and organizational data and also the analysis of surveys conducted among pt's delegates between 1997 and 2007, we show that the party still has strong connections to civil society organizations and increased significantly its number of members during lula's government.
