Hello comrades!
Thank you to all those who were able to participate in this year's Local Convention and welcome our new Local Council! You can find a full summary of this year's convention at this link.
Please fill out our National Convention Priority Survey! Our Chapter is sending seven delegates to the 2023 DSA National Convention held in Chicago, Illinois, on August 4th-6th. This convention is held every other year and is the organization's highest decision-making body. There, delegates from across the country will meet to set our course for the next two years and elect our new National Political Committee (NPC), which functions as DSA’s highest decision-making body between conventions.
Let us know what issues you would like our delegates to prioritize at the upcoming National Convention at this link. We want to hear from you!

Our comrades with Southern Solidarity would greatly appreciate donations and more volunteers to support their work this Summer! Southern Solidarity is a grassroots, community-based group of volunteers in solidarity with the unhoused in their quest toward liberation. They organize the delivery of food, medical resources and basic needs directly to the unhoused in the downtown area of New Orleans because our government has not filled this need. Donate to help them get more supplies to distribute. Volunteer for food prep and delivery.
We hope to see you soon!
Love and Solidarity,
DSA New Orleans Local Council
