Definitely join and definitely do some work. North Texas has some awesome people from everything I've seen.

The general meeting is great to learn about your chapter, but it's not necessary. Find out what you want to focus on and email the committee/working group and get started.


I am now more involved in the chapter and I honestly miss just doing actions instead of coordinating poo poo.

general meetings are also cool because we have education segments and sing songs

*location dependent


edit for snype content: voted in the PA primary, backed the DSA-endorsed cool kids (and Nina Ahmad for Lt Gov), wrote in my chapter co-chairs for uncontested races. Good times.

songs are good. check this verse of solidarity forever

In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold,
Greater than the might of armies, multiplied a thousand-fold.
We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old
For the union makes us strong.

Grievance committees are for formal complaints about harassment or abuse that you want addressed. Not like struggle sessions.

The entire concept is that these people are elected outside and separate from chapter leadership. There is a framework, like BoA mentioned and which you should read if you are genuinely curious, to work through the issue and take action as necessary.

Now, what happens if the complaint gets ignored? Just like anything else, people have to make it work. You can use "well what if people don't act in good faith" as a criticism of literally anything, up to and including the highest levels of government.

Strasserites were the faction of the Nazi Party that actually wanted left-wing economic policies: redistributing wealth and nationalizing major industries. Their pro-worker interventions in labor disputes helped the party amass its membership. But they were violently anti-Communist, and bought into the conspiracy theory that Bolshevism was the popular front of an international Jewish banking cabal. Their leadership was killed or exiled in the Night of the Long Knives.

Anyway, "Strasserist" is the new popular insult to level at fellow leftists who racistly opine that posting Die Cis Scum, All Men Are Trash, Kill Whitey on Twitter isn't building socialism.
yeah im aware of who the strasserites were but i wasnt sure if the dsa had some race related controversy

The DSA is actually going to overthrow capitalism but then split over different translations of the Internationale. Braggists fighting Pottierians in the streets.

I'm sure the ADAPT members who got dragged out of their congresspersons offices trying to save Medicare/Medicaid during the proposed ACA repeal would be pumped to hear they're being invoked to justify canceling Medicare for All canvassing over a podcast grudge
