god damn it, you've got to be kind

you and 13 others elected from your assembly district go to the state convention and start to agitate and then all the appointed delegates come over and give you a wedgie

A former ADD from San Francisco indicated you should shoot for getting 100 people to vote for you to stand a chance in the ADEM.

Well I put my name in the hat for my assembly district. So far only one other person has declared her candidacy so we'll see how it goes.

They're super slow to put candidate stuff up on the site so don't take that as a guarantee you're the only one!

I've got three DSA chapters within 2 hours' drive - one new, one well-established but fulla oldies, and one established but full of terribly earnest young activists. As a fledgling in the area of socialism and politics I should probably stick with the new group, right?

Please add me as a member! California, Marin. Also contact me if you're in the Bay Area and interested in, or already a member of, the Democratic Socialists of America.

Word came in on Monday of some hosed up "busing in voters with prepared ballots" style corruption in SF from the establishment slate. They still lost, but you can see the lengths to which they will go to try to hang on to power.

So uh I noticed the WA state senate has an empty seat and is currently tied R/D so whoever gets that seat would be the decider. Anyone in WA wanna check in on the status of that?

Personally? Weekly phone calls and scheduling quarterly one on one meetings with my state reps about my chosen hobby-horse (single payer healthcare).

As a chapter? Local work on a measure (Q) that outlawed tent sleeping. Being witnesses and reporters when tent cities etc are torn down, volunteering w/ the tenderloin homeless org, participating in the annual homeless count. When steam gets built on the effort to repeal Q we'll be in on that as the a supporting org. We endorsed slates for the ADEMs last week and had DSA members elected in 2 of the 3 districts we targeted. We had members at Standing Rock and have sent care packages and $$$.

if you have any tiny level of power to get establishment dems to show some loving backbone and resist this illegitimate regime, this would be a really good time to leverage it.
