Hello Comrades! Take a look at what Sacramento DSA has in store this month and see how you can get involved.

 

Announcements

Read through the announcements and learn about any updates or requests to the General Membership.

 

Updated Website!

We finally have an updated website, with the help of the National Tech Committee from national DSA! It now has a working event calendar page ;) The URL is the same but you can access it below.

 

Local Convention Working Group

Do you want to get more involved with the Chapter and don't know how? 

 

Are you organized and detailed-oriented? Do you like creating programs and schedules?

 

Be part of the Local Convention planning group!

 

Local Conventions are the "highest deliberative body of the Local to amend its structure and decide the political priorities of the Local between Local Conventions".

 

A lot of planning and work goes into planning a Local Convention and it takes a village to make this happen.

 

Meetings every Thursday at 6pm via Zoom.

 

Interested writing a blog post?

Do you feel passionate about a certain leftist topic? How about current events? Are you a good writer? If you answered yes, we would love to host your writing on our Sacramento DSA blog located on our website!

 

Our last entry is a few years ago, so we are hungry for new leftist content to display.

 

If interested, please email Chapter Secretary, Jessie, at [email protected].

Open Seats! City Boards and Commissions

Operation Socialist Takeover is a full go! We are looking for people to join local commissions and boards for the city and the county of Sacramento. These boards meet regularly with elected leadership to give opinion and can have HUGE impact on local issues. Application process is very easy and free! (See the attached link).

 

If you need any help, please feel free to reach out to Teddy on slack or via email at [email protected]. Obligations vary depending on the board, but typically range from meeting every week to once a month and sometimes every quarter. We can work to find you the right spot.

 

Lets make a difference from the inside!
