Friend --

Given the current COVID-19 virus public health emergency <[link removed]>, we will now be holding most meetings online. Please check our CALENDAR <[link removed]> for full event listings and committee meetings changes and postponements. 



BUT we can still win this and we need to build for the long term. It starts right here in DSA-LA! Our fight continues for free, comprehensive healthcare for all. Fight with us for Medicare for all -- we will fight harder than ever <[link removed]>!

Autonomous Community Defense Against the 2020 Coronavirus CoVID-19 pandemic 

Mutual aid is a voluntary exchange of resources and services for the mutual benefit of all people involved. Seeing a no better time to share our resources, our Mutual Aid Committee <[link removed]> has helped organized this Zoom call for tonight at 8pm. The training will be led by an infectious disease professor at Vanderbilt University. We'll talk about: making hand sanitizer, wipes & hand hygiene techniques as well as infection control in small groups. We’ll record the call if you can’t make it!

Reclaiming Our Homes!



Did you know that there are more vacant homes than people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles? Some of these vacant properties are even owned by the state <[link removed]>. We are taking this housing back for our community. Today, we are taking matters into our own hands and moving into vacant houses owned by Caltrans! In the wake of Coronavirus, we the people who need healthy and safe housing demand that all publicly-owned homes and land be made available to those who need it NOW! Shame on the state for sitting on these properties during a housing and public health crisis. We stand with Reclaiming Our Homes <[link removed]>!

The CRT is our primary body for resolving conflict between members and referring more serious cases for outside mediation.

We are still looking for meeting space!

We are still in need of meeting space! Does your lefty-leaning neighbor own an empty storefront? Does your union have unused evening office space? Free, low-cost, and centrally-located is ideal. Short-term okay, but long-term prefered for our weekly committee meetings. If you have leads on something HIT US UP at [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>

See you this week! And stay safe, comrades.
