Yes there should be some administration reforms, like moving HQ out of NYC, kicking out Maria Svart for incompetence/being awful at her job, and probably hiring more than 1 person for each region point person.

And definitely focus on internal organizing because if you make your chapters more organized within the membership, then you have less chances of burnout

this seems especially important. hopefully more of the monthly dues going to local chapters will help

Yeah it helps my chapter has a bunch of IWW people in it that help push internal organizing. We are doing frequent training sessions to teach members how to 1 on 1 with less engaged members. The hopes is to recruit some people to have a person in every committee who will one on one with members of the chapter who have interests in the subjects of x committee to get them more involved and make them more integral members of the chapter.

As someone who has pretty bad social anxiety plus aspergers syndrome the training session really helped me get through some of the issues I have with communicating with people (going to a bunch of DSA member parties has also helped out my social problems)

he had a former union person running our chapter as well, it was a massive help and should be required to have a union rep there to help in every chapter imo

Denver teachers update: the district was jerking the teaches around late into last night. There was more time to negotiate but the teachers walked away as it didn't look like the district was negotiating in good faith. They vote on the strike today, although I think it doesn't get finalized until Tuesday. Very much looking like a strike is coming.

Anyway are you actually going to go to the meeting Saturday since we need at least 80 people to be there since we are trying to vote on incorporating (so individual members of our coordinating committee can't get sued by the GOP in a bullshit lawsuit) and to finally kick out the Father's Rights MRA

I think she cares, DSA has a really outsized voice for how big it is, just by nature of being the biggest thing of its type (Actual left wing org). The number of people who got mad at AOC about dumb poo poo, mostly before she was even in office yet, were always a minority in the DSA, it was the same group of people who try to cancel everyone or people who don't believe in electoral politics at all and want to be "right". The majority of the DSA love AOC, and unless she pulls a heel turn out of nowhere there's not a strong argument not to, she's radically shifting the overton window and public discourse very quickly.

How is it not related? The tweet implies AOC wouldn't care about the DSA now that she's on the national stage, I disagree and noted that the kind of people in the DSA who got mad at her were in the minority.
