SSJ_naruto_2003 posted:i couldn't afford anywhere near those dues unless there's a way to opt out of them for low-income members https://dsaspringplatform.org/2017/07/07/the-case-for-monthly-dues/ posted:Now, my proposed 1% plan won’t work for everybody. The costs associated with automatic cash transfers mean that it’s not worth it for DSA to accept monthly donations less than $10. So I propose that we have a separate category of dues for people with no or very low income, similar or identical to the low-income yearly option we currently have. Currently, members can opt for the low-income option and pay only $27 per year. They don't make a specific proposal, and they frame it in a lovely way (again), but even the Spring Platform people want that. Whoever they are.

business hammocks posted:post it. I received no such email. Hi Everyone, Welcome to DSA! My name is Julie, and I’m a member of the organization. You are receiving this email because you recently joined Democratic Socialists of America. We are glad you are joining us on this journey, especially during this challenging time. We are a diverse group of people located across the United States. We come from different backgrounds and have taken different paths to becoming socialists, but we work together to build a society that provides equality and democracy for all. As a way to connect all of us across the country, we created a Facebook group for new members. It is a place to exchange ideas, ask questions, look for ways to volunteer, etc. As many of us are new to socialism, it's a safe space where we can grow and shape our beliefs in the presence of like-minded people. The group is "secret" by Facebook standards, which means that it cannot be seen or found via a search. Group membership and posts can only be seen by members of the group, which allows for some privacy. Your participation in the group is voluntary. You should have already received an email from Facebook giving you the option to join. In order for the link to work, the email address you provided to DSA must be linked to your Facebook account, and your Facebook notification settings must allow emails. If you did not receive the link or received an error message, please check your spam and Facebook settings first and then feel free to contact me at this email address. I am happy to send the invitation to another email address if provided. For those of you who may be concerned this is spam, I’ve copied our national membership coordinator. I'm looking forward to connecting with you on Facebook and continuing the conversation. In solidarity, Julie

Our chapter has an Action Network account, we've done training on it... and yet everything uses Facebook instead. I think using Facebook is okay from the perspective of trying to reach as many people as possible, but it is a bit annoying that a fair amount of organizing seemingly occurs only on Facebook. It should never be an exclusive tool the way it sometimes seems to be with DSA.

I was pretty much directly across from you, next to the lady from Aurora who was asking what the process would be for us to endorse her. I was the one being kind of pushy about the our statement / messaging guide or whatever we we're calling it. Internet Explorer has issued a correction as of 03:17 on Jul 9, 2017 |

I was the one being kind of pushy about the our statement / media guide or whatever we we're calling it. Yeah my guess was totally correct. I was initially sitting next to you before we decided to grab additional chairs for the late folks. I also proposed the "stand in solidarity with all marginalized and oppressed peoples" phrasing in the messaging memo. If that doesn't ring a bell either you can PM me so we stop making GBS threads up this beautiful thread with our guess who antics  Either way,  , comrade

Recent article written by Socialist Alternative's Spokesperson Philip Locker on the growth of the DSA from our perspective. I think a lot of the questions posed are actually evident in this thread, specifically as regards the debate over dues, role of the national organization, etc. Obviously DSAs growth has really helped open up a space for socialist politics in the US which will hopefully only continue in the near term. https://www.socialistalternative.org/2017/07/05/dsa-grows-21000-socialist-party/

On the topic of inter-left unity. The NH DSA, NH SA, and NH Socialist Coalition held a joint tabling event Saturday for those interested in Socialism. Unfortunately it rained as soon as everything got set up so there was no one out walking by.  But hey it's good to have cooperation among the NH leftist groups.

Yeah I don't know of any cities or areas where cooperation between SA and DSA hasn't been occurring. Where I'm at we all get along and regularly send each other info about actions, campaigns, etc. The most sectarian arguments we get into are over whether pineapple on pizza is counter-revolutionary (it's not, the working class is entitled to all it creates, including pineapples).
