Plus I know like 3 librarians in the DSA, so they're pretty good targets for recruitment.

Libraries are a great place for meetings, free to reserve a space, accessible to all people and public transit, and a subtle reminder of how the gov can be a force for good, also safe.

Unfortunately, the libraries in Williamson County aren't free, they cost $15/hr+. Right now we're looking at invading the IKEA food court, or if we're lucky we might be able to get a couple hours free at a hotel since one of the austin dsa co-chairs knows people that work there.

If you have members in University you could also try to start a YDS, most schools give free space to their clubs and let them sponsor events, you can have your YDS reserve University library on a Saturday to "sponsor" the DSA meeting.

If anyone has an issue starting a chapter or hosting meeting they should post about it, I know a lot of ways or working around stuff and I imagine I'm not the only one.

Speaking as a university employee parasitism of university resources to promote socialism is cool and good. Albeit difficult if you're faculty.

i went to my first DSA event last night. we read three articles before we got in and discussed them at someone's apartment. there was also food and drink. later i sent an email to everyone about an event at a synagogue hosted by someone who wants to make neighborhoods immigrant sanctuaries, and two have confirmed that they're going along

there were only seven people there (i'm in a south brooklyn neighborhood) but i'm sure we'll grow and thrive

We're making good progress if people are worried though.

How'd he do?

I know we have a bunch of DSA people aiming for City Council here in NYC this year. Not sure the odds of any of them winning, but it seems rad.

Not well, but it was mostly because a fourth Dem got in the race on the last day of registration. People could only vote for 3, and he was running against an incumbent dem, an establishment Dem, and someone promising the city will legalize weed somehow. The vote really split between Lou and the weed lady.

Don't try to figure out ways to get them to come. Figure out ways to go to them and serve them.

I've been in Houston ISD for too long now, and we are either sitting around whining about all the drop-outs or we are physically going out into the community to knock on doors of last-known addresses and hunting down every single kid we can and hook them and their families up with every single aid organization we can think of.

Guess which strategy works the best!

After the flooding in Houston two years ago, the Mormons had their missionaries out there cleaning up. They were in old ladies' houses clearing out decades of piled-up trash. They were clearing debris. They were mowing lawns and trimming trees.And they were wearing some kind of "Mormons Are Helpful and Cool!" shirt. Guess what, our neighborhood loved them and talked to them.

Yeah not gonna lie, losing to the weed lady stung a little bit. I'm a little new to the game, but it seemed like it was just bad timing. The Lincoln chapter was drafting its constitution around this time, so we didn't get around to officially endorsing Lou until like a week before the primary.
