Atlanta DSA is proud to endorse our comrade Gabriel Sanchez for Georgia State House. Gabriel is an activist, organizer, and champion for the working class who's running to fight for a Georgia that works for all of us, not just the rich and powerful.
Working families are struggling to make ends meet, while the rich keep getting richer. The GOP is pushing a racist, extremist agenda, and the corporate Democratic establishment enables them every step of the way. That's why Gabriel is running: to challenge the status quo and bring the working class into the halls of power.
Gabriel has shown up time and time again to fight for working people. As a long-time member of our chapter, he's walked the picket line with striking workers, campaigned for abortion rights, and advocated for a Free Palestine. This summer, Gabriel was a field captain for the #StopCopCity referendum campaign, where he organized volunteer canvassers to collect thousands of petition signatures. As a State Representative for District 42, he'll be a radical voice for change and a true champion for Democratic Socialism.
As a Democratic Socialist candidate, Gabriel is refusing money from corporations or their PACs. We're running a grassroots campaign of, by, and for working people — and we need your help to win this election. Sign up today to contribute to or volunteer with our campaign at SanchezForGeorgia.com!

All over the country, labor organizers are organizing on the shop floor to build strong, militant, and democratic unions. From Teamsters for a Democratic Union (TDU) to Unite all Workers for Democracy (UAWD), the impact of union reform movements is loud and clear. Labor union reform caucuses have helped elect union leadership that's willing to put up a fight - helping Teamsters secure a historic union contract, and leading UAW to launch an unprecedented strike led by the rank-and-file.
Join Atlanta DSA's labor committee for an info session and workshop on union reform caucuses. We'll cover topics like: What is the goal of union reform? What are some examples of successful union reform movements? How can you get involved in your local union reform efforts?
This workshop is open to anyone, although union members are strongly encouraged to attend.

The recent events in Gaza are alarming, and risk spiraling into further violence and death. Right now, US Congress is preparing to use our tax dollars to fund a genocide of Palestinian people. Please take action NOW to urge Congress to support a ceasefire and de-escalation in Gaza!
