Dear Comrade
We are excited to announce our new priority, Healthcare, Raises, and a Union! Using ballot initiatives, we are working to protect the right to have an abortion in Ohio and to raise the floor for Ohio workers by making sure everyone is guaranteed one fair minimum wage. We have the opportunity to make a material difference for millions of Ohioans by supporting these issues, and to have organizing conversations about how class struggle unionism can expand the rights of working people further. To get these measures on the ballot, more than 440,000 signatures need to be gathered across 44 of Ohio’s 88 counties.
WE NEED YOU and your ideas to make this a success. Fill out this interest form to let us know how you want to get involved and join us on Zoom Thursday at 8p to discuss our plan. You can also donate to help out; we’ll need help with printing and gas money over the upcoming months. Anything you can contribute helps our fight to take the state back from the fascist Right. We will be collecting signatures at every Akron DSA event until July and are planning additional events in that time period.
Interested in organizing your workplace? Contact the Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee today. If you’re already a union member, consider activating your union around these ballot issues. Talk to your coworkers about this and consider inviting one to an upcoming DSA event.
Solidarity!
We organize between meetings on Slack. If you would like to participate, please reply to this email, and we will invite you to the workspace. Tell a friend to Join DSA and get connected!
