Brutal War. World-historic climate catastrophe. The Rise of the Far Right. The challenges facing DSA and the Left are immense but so is the potential to build DSA and powerful mass movements of the working class.
This August 4-6 in Chicago delegates from across the country will gather for our 2023 DSA National Convention. This will be the first in-person National Convention since 2019!
Seattle DSA will be sending 24 delegates and 2 alternates to participate in these vitally important discussions and debates.
A socialist world is possible, and will only be funded by working people like you! Can you chip in $100, $50, $25 to help send our 24 delegates to the DSA National Convention? We need to raise $7,500 for pay for flights and accommodations. Will you help
Delegates will be discussing key issues facing DSA, from the war in Ukraine, political independence from the Democrats, accountability of DSA leadership, staff, and electeds, and how & where to effectively build mass struggle and DSA - to name of few! To confront and overcome these titanic challenges, its essential socialists come together to democratically discuss the way forward for DSA and to elect a national leadership that can carry out the decisions of the convention - the highest decision-making body in the organization - and politically lead the organization over the next 2 years.
And we know the challenges in DSA - stagnant growth, political independence, accountability of electeds and DSA leadership & staff, and the lack of a cohering national campaign and strategy for activating current membership, recruiting new members, and building mass struggle on any of the myriad of problems confronting the working class and, in particular, the most oppressed layers of the working class: people of color, Black people, women, and the LGBTQ community.
For democracy to thrive, there must be an equality of access for all members - regardless of your level of income. We have several members in need and the costs are high for all.
Can you chip in $25, $50, $100 or $500 today to help ensure we have a vibrant and dynamic convention where all the delegates can participate in democratically determining the direction of our organization?

RAISE THE WAGE RENTON:
We NEED YOU!
THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE TO QUALIFY FOR THE BALLOT!
ON TO FEBRUARY!
- We did not make the ballot for November and are short 2,226 signatures of the required 8,913 signatures to qualify.
- HOWEVER, we can still submit for the February ballot!
- We are going to gather until THE END OF AUGUST
HOW DO WE GET MORE VALID SIGNATURES?
- Too many signatures rejected due to being out of jurisdiction or not registered.
- We can solve this by door knocking!
- When we door knock, we use VAN data which increases the chances we are getting the signature of a valid Renton registered voter.
Let’s make sure we get on the ballot and put Michael on the Renton City Council to show that DSA is showing up for working class folks!
This means we need folks to help us keep collecting through August. We really need teams to send to doors as much as possible.
This is our chance to deliver a MASSIVE wealth transfer of $45 million EVERY YEAR from the corporate elite to the working class, especially the most marginalized minimum wage workers!
