Education Session on Trans Issues
|
If you're someone who wants to support your trans friends, family, and comrades, but feel disconnected from the topic and want to firm up your understandings, then please attend this educational session! Sasha (and Jonathan) will be covering some essential material and offering space for people to ask all the questions they have felt too awkward to ask. This session will move through the basics of trans 101, but will also cover the ways in which queer and trans people are an essential part of our larger radical movements. We'll cover the current attacks against trans people in the US/UK/Canada and go over how to dispel disingenuous anti-trans rhetoric which is all too common.
?
Our first session will take place at on Saturday, 3/16, at 1pm at Earthcare.

Support the Uncommitted Campaign!
|
After a resounding success in Michigan, the movement to tell Genocide Joe that we are Uncommitted is only gaining momentum! Right now, the campaign needs volunteers to phone bank to states that have upcoming primaries, primarily Minnesota, which votes tomorrow!
?
You can sign up to phone bank today here and tomorrow here.
?
You can also donate to the campaign at this link.
|
DSA depends on support from ordinary members, rather than corporate funding or grants. As we ramp up our campaigns to take on the millionaire and billionaire class in New Mexico, any donations you can provide will go a long way.
