Syndlig posted:so i see the thread has decided to descend into boring baby poo poo for dumb idiots so instead i'm going to talk about stuff that actually matters and post pictures from an action we did today. a bunch of comrades from all over Texas drove down to Laredo to stage a protest at the "Laredo Processing Facility", a detention center run by CoreCivic (a.k.a. Corrections Corporation of America), a for-profit private prison company that partners with ICE to detain asylum seekers, torture them, and use them as slave labour. This is cool.

re: DSA endorsing Bernie, there’s a whole process for candidate endorsements usually, correct? One of the meetings I attended in Milwaukee was contemplating endorsing local candidates. Is there an official process for a national level candidate like for a presidential race?

One of the meetings I attended in Milwaukee was contemplating endorsing local candidates. I think there's one uniform process: the NPC can be asked by any local chapter to endorse a candidate that the local in question endorsed. This goes from town council member to president I think? It might not be the most robust system now that the org is so big tbh. https://www.dsausa.org/resources/faq/#endorsement

What kind of resources do you have? Are you thinking of an post-event with food that is meant to be social or perhaps inviting guest speakers to help energize people?

Larry Parrish posted:The people who claim to be fellow socialists but mysteriously sound like Mao was writing about them specifically from 100 years in the past are once again making a vague but loud attempt to steer the policy of a socialist mass organization from their literal ivory towers. And this thread is upset because the guy famous for hiring servants he didn't pay is saying it's good actually and another dude is apparently roleplaying functional illiteracy so people keep arguing with his stupid rear end instead of examining the obviously counter revolutionary sentiment of this statement This actually explains a lot lmao

if it hasn’t been contemplated or planned already, a rally with speakers has usually been good for nyc marches that have a dsa contingent or have been sponsored by a nyc dsa working group, at least in my experience

Pittsburgh DSA is going to vote on a motion for dismissal against the "father's rights" guy who keeps showing up to socfem committee meetings to harass women. Vote's happening at the next general meeting, which I will miss because it's my birthday and I don't want to spend it dealing with that prick.

Something fun to decompress after the march. I think you at least need to plan for something that people can sit at since they will have been walking a bunch.

I was thinking of something low key where people could at least gather and talk i'm biased towards quiet bars, especially since it's cold, but the other factor is how many people you're expecting after definitely bring sign-up sheets, pens, etc. though edit: does the coalition have nyc dsa or a group/branch as a formal co-sponsor or endorser? if so, definitely reach out to the nyc dsa media team for social media promotion - feel free to pm me if you need any help there Crusader has issued a correction as of 22:11 on Jan 13, 2019 |

the author of the "Columbia Falls Statement" is hilariously anti-labor. she routinely gets basic factual information wrong about unions and labor history and for whatever reason* most of DC DSA are really, really detached from anything that challenges their parents careers in the DC consultant class *DC DSA is overwhelmingly full of upper middle class/legit wealthy grad students who live on daddy's dime Dreddout posted:All those coastal elites meeting in a small town in the middle of montana she lives in northwest DC OP Tercio posted:So why was the Columbia Falls Statement necessary? larping from people who just read the Combahee River Collective's wiki page for the first time big business man has issued a correction as of 01:05 on Jan 14, 2019 |
