Local branches get up to a lot more than what happens at the national level, plus a lot of the work is done behind the scenes. There's more than just NYC, the local chapters do good work.

I'm guessing there's a bit of a difference between chapters? The closest one to me doesn't seem to do much but sporadically organize protests.

There's also been a lot of accusations of coverups of sexual assault and anti trans biase over the years. I mean at least bad enough to have its own section in the prolewiki.

There's decent variance. The ones I have experience with have all been pro-trans, with queer membership. Allegations do exist, but it doesn't appear to be beyond a local level. Talk to your local directly.
