So nothing's getting done on a national level for 2 years lol

additional new person question:
how important is what's done on a national level, anyway?
is paralysis from dumb lefto-typical infighting actually all that much of a problem?

all national really does is set basic policy and endorse candidates. all this will do is prevent them from forcing monthly dues to be the standard. there is basically no downside to the NPC not being able to do poo poo

Speaking of, Sept. 2 white supremacists are coming to Austin and planning to hold an armed march on the capitol, where there is a rally of SB4 protesters. Since this is permitted, the cops will be protecting them. It also starts outside the county jail. If you're able to come down to Austin and are arrestable or have medic skills, please keep an ear out. We're trying to get their permit rescinded, and hopefully even failing that it'll be like the June march where it was 50 fascists hiding behind a wall of cops for 3 hours.

We've already got like potentially 4k counter-protesters going. If they try to make a big showing, it's going to be very bad for them.

Have you sought a permit as well? I mean no reason not to.

I think DSA members being injured in a clash with literal nazis is going to be play more of a role in people's mind than 1 old dude on a 16(?) person leadership board.

This is a good point, and why I'm positive about the organization no matter what happens with him.

He still needs to step down. CLEAT endorsed laws aimed at making it legal to run over protesters, we don't need people trying to reconcile all that.

i'm looking for resources on mutual-aid. getting the branch involved with it but extremely wary of falling into volunteerism. we have a lot of recently radicalized-and-still-radicalizing liberals that can't meaningfully distinguish it from charity work, and i don't know enough to be able to cleanly delineate those differences for them.

think about if the project reinforces the structures of capital by essentially subsidizing exploitation (aca, food stamps, etc) or weakens or undermines the structures of capital (medicare for all, fight for $15, etc). im sure plenty of people disagree with me on this but that's how i look at programs that we should be devoting our finite energy to. my advice would be if someone is proposing misdirected charity work that you think about the underlying cause/sentiment and see if there is a way for your chapter to get involved in a way that works against capitalism.
