Show Solidarity with UPS Teamsters!
To show support for UPS Teamsters in their fight for a fair contract, members of Phoenix DSA’s labor committee are ready to deliver these posters next week! Fill out this form to get yours!
If you’d like posters for yourself and your friends or family, please fill out THIS FORM!

A huge thank you to Finn for getting these posters printed! And another another huge thank you to Shasta and Emily, who have volunteered to deliver these posters to our members!

Join Phoenix DSA’s Strike Force!
Throughout 2023, Phoenix DSA has fought for labor. Our members have attended strikes, hosted rallies, and inspired comrades to action around Arizona! Now, as the Red Hot Labor Summer heats up, our efforts are more important than ever.
To support workers who can not publicly broadcast strike action dates, times, and locations, we have initiated a chapter program called Strike Force. Strike Force is a volunteer group of Phoenix DSA members and comrades willing to wake up at early hours and stand in the heat alongside exploited workers with just a few hours notice.
Phoenix DSA will continue to post event information through Slack, but Strike Force members will receive last-minute text updates on strike actions and labor rallies that we can’t promote through our publicly accessible channels.
If you are interested in joining Strike Force, please complete the short form LINKED HERE!
If you want to support our labor work but can’t commit to attending in-person strike actions or joining our Strike Force text group, you can make a donation to Phoenix DSA’s Labor Fund HERE!

Attend our August Chapter Meeting!
Our next regular meeting is August 19 from 1:00-3:00pm. RSVP HERE!
We have channeled our Strike Ready efforts into union coalition building, and our work is gaining steam. Our organizers have rallied for labor in triple-digit temperatures, and we’ve made some amazing connections. Phoenix DSA is poised for success; we just need your help.
Our August meeting will be dedicated to strategy, engagement, and information sharing. Chapter delegates will share reports from Convention; chapter officers will share updates on in-progress projects; committee chairs will brief the chapter on activities; and we will discuss opportunities for action in the second half of 2023 and beyond.
We have big plans and high hopes for our chapter. We hope you will join us!
If you’d like to attend our August chapter meeting, please RSVP HERE!
Until Next Time!
If you made it this far, you are clearly dedicated to the cause. Thank you for your service, comrade. Your reward is this knowledge:
DSA chapters only receive a small portion (about 20%) of monthly member dues from DSA’s national organization. In addition, local chapters do not directly receive any portion of annual member dues. That means our work is dependent on donations from comrades like you.
Individual donations are absolutely essential to our chapter’s continued and expanded operations, but if you’re not in the position to financially support our work, we still want to see you on the picket line and in our meetings. However, if you can afford to make any financial contribution to the chapter, we humbly request your support. Donations can be made at this LINK.
That’s all for now! But there is much more ahead. Please check our calendar for event updates. If you want to read more from Phoenix DSA, check out our newsletter: RED ALL OVER
Organizing for socialist policies in a "purple" state like Arizona can be exhausting. Burnout is real, and isolation only makes it worse. So if you're unionizing your workplace, writing ballot initiatives, preparing to run for office, supporting mutual aid efforts, or fighting for a socialist future, we have space for you. You are not alone! We are in this together.
If you have questions, comments, or ideas, please reach out to us at [email protected]. We're happy to help neighbors in need, and we're always excited to meet new comrades!
If you aren't a member, but you want to get involved, then JOIN THE DSA TODAY! Let us know you're a member by forwarding your welcome email to [email protected]. We look forward to working together!
