"If people just sit down and take this, it could go on forever. But I think if people stand up, if they're willing to go on strike, if they're not getting paid, they could stop this tomorrow," Thompson said. https://www.wbaltv.com/article/rally-at-bwi-marshall-seeks-end-to-partial-government-shutdown/25849970 some DSA work that isn't cringey as hell

They're antifascist culture jammers. With that combination of words I'm not really sure what you're expecting from them. Maybe a gun that shoots ponies.

Couple updates from SF We shut down the California Public Utilities Commission yesterday as a part of our continuing campaign against PG&E, the states for-profit electrical power monopoly. PG&E's half assed approach to maintenence and safety led to another round of deadly fires, and the state is looking to bail them out by allowing them to raise rates on all of us to pay for lawsuits. We're trying to push them to nationalize it instead of continuing to protect it's profits. This is really starting gain steam, we've got 5 or 6 local groups joining a coalition with us and we were able to put this action together with a few days of organizing. Even media is starting to come around, this report really makes the commission look like dicks. Then later in the day we held our kickoff for the SF Public Bank Coalition, an effort to create a publicly owned municipal bank to challenge the dominance of Wall Street banks in public financing and support investment in affordable housing, student loans, local infrastructure, and everything else that normal banks ignore because it's not maximally profitable. It's an independent coalition, but it was founded by DSA SF members and most of the leadership is in DSA. More than 250 people showed up! https://twitter.com/FielderJackie/status/1083595592712937472?s=19

hi DSA thread, I posted awhile back about trying to get out and volunteer and I reached out to some organizations but didn't receive a response. I wrote to the IWOC and the Prison Activist Resource Network. is there something specific I should say to see if they want help, or should I assume that because nobody responded I'm not needed? also you don't have to be a member to attend general meetings right? it wasn't clear online but I can't afford membership dues right now because I'm unemployed but Id like to put my tremendous free time to use more productively than stewing in sadness and failure

Every local should let you attend. Some(?) might not let you vote

I wrote to the IWOC and the Prison Activist Resource Network. is there something specific I should say to see if they want help, or should I assume that because nobody responded I'm not needed? I think it's more likely that they are overwhelmed with stuff to do compared to people to do it to the point that they never got around to answering. quote:also you don't have to be a member to attend general meetings right? it wasn't clear online but I can't afford membership dues right now because I'm unemployed but Id like to put my tremendous free time to use more productively than stewing in sadness and failure I don't want to say for sure because it would depend on the chapter really, but probably you don't need to be a member. Most chapter bylaws I have seen have provisions for allowing non-member volunteers to get involved. However, no one can be turned away from membership due to financial hardship. There's a waiver but also you can join with a custom dues amount of $0, it's basically a suggested donation.

It's also entirely possible that someone would be willing to sponsor you (pay your dues for you)

You shouldn't need to be a dues paying member for general meetings, and usually not working groups, though you can't vote on stuff, but we generally always welcome extra hands to show up and help with events. If your local DSA winds up fitting well with you, but paying dues is a hardship, reach out to your local SC once you're involved, there are both hardship lower dues, and ways for an SC/local to sponsor folks who are contributing members but can't afford to give up money. As others have said, it does vary from chapter to chapter and some right now are more worried about info-sec so will have rules about asking non-members to leave for voting issues and other sensitive parts of meetings, or might ask you to keep away from the sign in table. Others are a bit more lax, like a committee I'm on had a meeting this week where 4 of the 10 people in attendance were new members who hadn't paid dues or are curious about joining. Frankly I don't care if they ever give a dollar, if they can help I'm welcoming them aboard.

I'm really bad at finding this stuff myself Might also help to check and see if your local DSA chapters have a social media presence and get in touch with them with something like "Hi! I wanna get involved with <causes> how can I help? And do you know other organizations that do good in those fields too?"

most of those bullet points are completely free of substance, DSA should be anti imperialist, DSA should be a big tent, DSA should participate with Bernie's campaign "strategically, what does any of that mean?

slicing up eyeballs posted:Idk I read through the actual doc and most of it is inoffensive and/or should go without saying, I couldn't remember why her or malloy were bad That's kinda the problem though. They're not really saying anything at all. "The DSA should be big tent," is something that basically everyone in the DSA already agrees with. Reiterating in a statement about what you think the DSA should do is pointless.

DSA should exclusively be a pipeline to get social democrats elected as Democrats who are then completely bought and paid for by the ten rich guys that own the world.
